Yet some If any lesson should groups are still proposing to install rapid rail transit, which is th least flexible of all systems, in cities lacking the population densities required for economic feasibility, Often the proposed route is over an abandoned railroad right of way as though the abandonment had no signi- - ficance whatsoever Turner predicts that in the next two decades we'gree will need many more miles of urban freeways than are now under construction or planned, principally in the suburban areas. But new facilities are by no means the total answer to metropolitan traffic problems, either now or in the future. There are limits, not only of the funds available, but on the land available. So part of the answer must be to squeeze more capacity, more utility out of the urban highways and streets that we already have or are now building. A number of methods to speed traffic flow some proven and some under study and trial are outlined by the Bureau of Public Hoads chief. He says, for example, that reversible traffic lanes, efficient signal timing and intelligent pavement markings can double the traffic volume and increase average speeds by 25 per cent. Televised and computerized traffic control systems are demonstrating their value in improving traffic flow and reducing congestion at peak periods. While transportation has undergone some miraculous improvements since Caesars time, the federal road official observes that some problems are still with us. For example, he says, the alleged modern problem of the woman driver was known to ancient Rome: Lady charioteers were not permitted to drive in the city on Sundays or during times of heavy traffic. oOo Life has its progressive stages. To every part of life its own particular period has been assigned; so that the playfulness of boys, and the high spirit of young men, and the steadiness of fixed manhood, and the maturity of old age have something natural which ought to be enjoyed in their own way.
