California Assembly Approves Limited Access Highway Plan
The California Assembly approved AB 1350 the Limited Access Highway Law of 1945 by a 60 to 11 vote. It authorizes upgrading 2700 miles of rural highways to limited access standards and up to 600 miles of metropolitan freeways across seven urban areas, with funding to come from a fuel tax increase. The measure, praised by author Assemblyman Stream, sets policy for future freeway development and includes provisions for rights of way and safety features.
