These are temporary until the projects are completed correct?

It does make mention of prohibiting drones where people are camping and recreating such as designated swim beaches. The policy also prohibits UAS flights near critical infrastructure such as locks, dams, power plants and switch yards.So I take that as permanent.

Is it legal to restrict drones while still allowing helicopters and balloons to fly in the same air space?

I would think because Balloons and Helicopters are manned with pilots they fall under different Regs.

My aircraft is manned by a licensed pilot also.
