Wyoming Builds Gunbarrel Roads
Wyoming reduces auto deaths by over 40 percent in eight months of 1938, rising to No. 1 among states. The gunbarrel highways, 36 feet wide with three 12 foot lanes, use fewer curves, improved visibility, streamlined ditches, white gravel edges, and night visibility tests. Dr. Lester C. Hunt spearheaded a safety drive, coordinating with police and the highway department to cut crashes by targeting drunken driving and off road exits.
