on the remaining 40 feet. The model
to be worked to is two 40.foot road
ways, two ten-foot sidewalks and three
rows of shade trees-a most proper
plan for a hot climate.
All travel of course takes the right
hand road. The grade should allow
crossing from one road to the other.
On a single road with a 5O.foot right
Of way, two ten.foot sidewalks and 80
feet for vehicles, when autos are
standing at each curb there Is not
room for safe passing Of vehicles 60
ing in opposite directions and this
difficulty and danger increases with
the traffic.
A single-track road should be 60
feet wide.
The middle line of new roads is gen.
orally on a section line or other line
between two wner If the fashion is
set for a 100.foot right Of way owners
will give the so feet.
II county commissioners will insist
on the 100 feet and make 1t a state
wide rule supported by public opinion,
owner will fall into line and give the
land.
The double-road plan allows speed
with safety and the speed Of motor
cars will in the future be increased
on long runs.
The point is that 1t Is the duty OF
the pioneer road builders Of today to
provide for the travel Of the future.
Fifteen years ago in Chicago a
street a mile long between Grant and
Lincoln parks was widened from 80
to 200 feet. It cost 100000
II the people who laid out that street
could have looked ahead the expense
would have been only the amount Of
the surveyors bill. In less degree
such things will happen some day in
Florida wherever narrow roads are
built.
California has awakened to the idea
and has some main roads 100 feet
wide.
AS soon as Florida gets hard roads
the travel by tourists and citizens by
motor car and motor truck will rapid
ly increase and will grow in time to
enormous proportions.
The climate and the motor car will
accomplish it and it is time that the
road builders awakened to these en-.
tirely new conditions. Besides the
question of safety and convenience
there is the question Of beauty, OF
civic pride and the satisfaction Of
building right for all time. .
Road builders must realize that the
motor car has brought entirely new
conditions.
They must lay out the roads wide
enough for all time, while the land a
be got for nothing. 1t is a duty.
