age to another. Under the average
regulatory law thus far made effec-
tive, the greatest service has not been
secured from the best roads, nor the
safety of the lesser capacity road
ways assured The influence Of sub
grade soils, tire equipment, distribu-
ton Of load to the wheels, speed, and
many other variables Is too complex
to be written into law.
The seasonal variation alone in the
carrying capacity of the roadbeds, due
to moisture conditions, Is one Of the
most serious Of all the causes Of road
damage. Highway authorities there
fore must be given wide discretion in
traffic regulation. The bureau urges
that as a solution Of the problem the
state highway officials Of each state
be given broad powers. so that traffic
can be regulated to suit conditions as
they exist at any particular time.
