THE INCREASED TRAVEL ON
IMPROVED ROADS.

Hereafter no concrete roads rfal
be built in Wayne County, Mich, Of
less than 16 feet, "a feet over ALI
because the county road commission
has found that as soon as q new
road OF this kind Is opened there IL
an enormous increase in the traffc.
Not only do the people living along
the road use it more, but persons
come from miles on other side to
use such road in preference to tho.
dirt roads they formerly Travelled.
Hence the commission has decided
that 1t must provide for three times
the present traffic on a road when
It puts down concrete roadway.
With this increase in traffic come
greater speed and heavier loads, 20
that while 16 feet will be the mini
mum width, 18 feet will be adopted
wherever practicable and 20 feet
near Detroit. While this will add
materially to the first cost, It will
save money in the long run, the COM
mission has reported, because the
cost OF matchmaking and repairing
the shoulders along narrow road
ways will be greatly reduced. It has
been found that the work done In
only a few years on the shoulders
of several roads would have paid for
building the concrete roadway 6 feet
wider.
