Four Lane Highways Deemed Impractical by Maryland Engineer
A Maryland road engineer argues that the proposed 41 miles of new Federal funded roads will not deliver the ultimate efficiency. Dr. A Darneille proposes a one way three or more lane system with parallel roads and resurfaced old roadbeds as a cheaper alternative to avoid overpasses and hazardous exits. He criticizes four lane divided parkways as a design dream that urbanizes highway engineering rather than serving practical needs.
