Oakland report notes the push for electrified highways spanning from Canada to Mexico and along coastal routes as part of a 16 year dream led by Gael Hoag secretary of the Lincoln Highway Association.
With rural electrification spreading, Hoag contends the dream of cheaper electricity is near. He cites tests on the Lincoln Highway between Dyer and Scheerville Indiana near the Illinois line, where a one and one third mile stretch demonstrated the benefits of electric highway lighting.
In 1920 a non glare electrical system lit a highway every 300 feet, lighting the entire road and making night driving as safe as daytime. Over two years no accidents occurred, and proponent Hoag says daytime peaks would ease, traffic could shift to night, and full 24 hour highway usefulness would follow with cheaper power, though cost limits farming regions.
