to connecting highways for gas
or food or to spend the night.
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.
Opposite lanes will be set at
different levels and from 16 to
1,000 feet part to prevent "driv
er hypnosis" and cut the glare
of on-coming headlights at night.
Four-fifths of this network
will be covered by four or more
lanes. The two-lane system sur
