Express Highways Urged as Traffic Aid
Urban express highways developed with vision will go far toward preventing the decay of cities at their centers. Thomas H. Mac Donald, commissioner of public roads, said in a report on U S construction activities that cities should consider expressing as a solution not affordability but necessity. He argued it will be far more economical to build expressways for large traffic volumes than to widen streets, noting express lanes offer eight to ten times the service efficiency of ordinary city streets.
