MAKE STATE HIGHWAYS WIDER

The first real attempt to develop a state highway system
will be made this year when the State Highway COMMISSION
will spend approximately 100000 600 in building permanent
roads. This is in addition to what the counties Will spehu sep
arately on road construction. 1t ought to mean that ne" er-
sey will come somewhere near regaining her lost presnge IN
the matter of improved highways.
But before this great expenditure is made it should De
settled without a shadow of a doubt that the roads as piahH1eu
are adequate for present day traffic. Anyone travelling 'e
main arteries of travel today must realize that the present rOaus
are what might be termed outgrown. Not only are there many
dangerous curves and blind corners, but they are 100 narrow
The time has come when it is necessary to consider The
construction of a double highway on the main thoroughiares
such as the route across the state between New York and Phll-
adelphia and the route leading from the cities TO the coast re-
SORTS A part of the roadway should be reserved for trucks
and slow moving vehicles and the other part reserved Tor te
faster automobiles. This does not mean, however, 'ha' 'hefe
should be a speedway.
At present a truck, often two or three of them in a row.,
will tie up the whole road on a day of heavy travel. As they
now exist the roads are wide enough only for one car 10 pass
at a time. When there is a steady stream Of cars coming In
the opposite direction, an automobile coming up Dehmu u
truck finds it next to impossible to pull out and passa withou'
taking great risk of a collision 1t not infrequenty happens
that a long line of cars are tied up in this manner ana theh
some extremely reckless driver comes along ana pulls out Win
the idea of passing the whole string only TO meet another car
head on making it necessary for him to break into the line that
he is attempting to pass greatly at the risk OF all the others =
This situation is growing worse all the time. Never mas
there been such a congestion of cars through this city as there
was over the weekend including Memorial Day. Inc omy
remedy is to have a roadway wide enough for at least three
cars to pass at once, preferably wide enough for four cars 10
run abreast. 1t would be a serious mistake to spend $1o,Ooo,-
900 of the taxpayers money on roads no wider than those now
Mexstence.
The state highway SYSTEM is supposed TO cover all me
main arteries of travel and these, at least, should be wide
enough for the heaviest travel. By all means build TINS state
highway system right when it is built. 1t may not be possible
to accomplish as much as was at first planned without add
tional funds, but it will be found cheaper and much more sat
isfactory in the long run. The state, at least, should see'that
the highways it builds are adequate for the travel they are
called upon to'carryI
