Show Connecting Good Roads Important to Drivers Good roads are multiplying in this country, even faster than trucks can smash them. Long stretches of fine paving are found now in almost every section, running from city to city, and sometimes for amazing distances through the open country. But there is always one obstacle that the driver, be he local resident or tourist, runs up against sooner or Inter. He comes to a jumping-off place where there is an almost impassable gap between be-tween two good roads. It is like a sudden drop back into the dark ages of transportation. A member of one of the state highway high-way commissions makes the very sensible sen-sible suggestion that in road-building programs, attention be given first to hard-surfacing these one-mile and two-mile two-mile gaps, before building any more long pavements that don't quite reach, says the Madison (Ind.) Courier. Linking Link-ing up the sound pavements makes the whole present good road system available. avail-able. Further progress may well start from there. It would transform road transportation in most of the states if this simple policy were adopted. |
