You will travel 50 miles an hour past downtown business districts, up to 70 miles an hour on the open road. There will be no traffic lights, no railroad crossings, few intersections. Except in rugged terrain out west, the slightest bend in the road will be banked, the most gentle grade leveled. All lanes will be at least 12 feet, should ers 10 feet and the islands di viding opposing lanes 16 feet wide. Markers and signs may be uniform across the nation. Speed-Changing Lanes This could become so easy that you might fall asleep, literally bored to death. Swamps, brush fences, out crops of rock even trout streams stocked with fish-will be left at safe distances in the dividing islands to relieve mon otony and provide scenery.
