looking highway administrators who
are now giving careful consideration
10 the problems which will develop
during the next ten years.
one Of the most important matters
TO be decided upon by the ideal sec
ton committee and which must pre-
cede any construction, is the question
of cross section design, i. e. the num-
er and arrangement Of traffic lanes,
to be provided on the ideal section.
This was practically the only point
upon which a disagreement was en-
countered. Some OF the engineers
feeling that the construction Of a
three traftic-lane pavement, cav %
feet wide, would be the proper pro-
cedure, while others preferred the
construction Of a fOur-traffic- lane,
separated by a central parkway. to
the end Of segregating travel accord
ing 20 direction. Others were in ia
vor OF separate travel lines for mo-
tor trucks and passenger cars.
The Lincoln highway association is
having competent engineers draw UP
suggested specifications for each of
these cross section designs and the
matter will be carefully considered
at the next meeting OF the tech
Eical committee.
The Lincoln highway asso citation.
as we'll as the Office OF public roads
of the federal government, viii issue
bulletins concerning the speCifica-
lions determined upon. which viii

eral interest.
