Show Roads For The Future It is common for roads that were built a comparatively few years ago to become dangerous because of the amazing increase in motor travel. Narrow surfaces, overly steep hills and unbanked turns constitute a serious seri-ous menace in these days of congested, con-gested, high speed traffic. Progressive communities are protecting pro-tecting their own futures by building wider roads to care for the still greater great-er traffic of tomorrow.' It is said on good authority that all highways of importance should be broad enough to carry two lanes of traffic in both directions. Even in rural districts, where expense ex-pense of road building is preeminent, low cost oil and asphaltic surfaces are providing the farmer and rural dweller with high grade highways, reasonable to build and maintain. In this modern age, civilization follows the highway and a community with insufficient or poor roads must exist In an undeveloped state. |
