CUTOFF ROADS
AROUND LACE CENTERS
MODERN PRACTICE
Routing Traffic Around Cities Pays
Dividends

Routing Traffic Around Cities Pays
Dividends
In the days of the horse, main ar
| teries of travel naturally entered
cities at the most convenient place,
and travel along the highway passed
down Main Street without slowing
up. The horse-drawn vehicle could
get through city as fast as it could
travel the country road. With the
advent of the swift-moving car and
auto trucks, conditions changed
Through traffic on roads is greatly
slowed up in the city, due to cross
ings, congestion, narrow streets, one
way streets, stopping for pedestrians
and street cars, etc. In addition,
through traffic brought through
city adds largely to the city's traffic
problem.
The modern idea is to divert
through traffic around large centers.
The few additional miles thus trav-
eled are more than made up for in
the decrease of time. Thus, bypass
or cutoff which lengthens the
through route ten miles, may add
thirty minutes to the running time;
but where is the large city through
which, from one side to another,
a car or truck can pass in half an
hour? Not infrequently the cutoff
actually saves mileage instead of
increasing it.
To have all the through traffic
go through Main Street is all right
as long as Main Street is short
and not crowded To divert through
traffic from Main Street to boun-
dairy road is good econmics, good en-
gineering, and good common sense
when Main Street is long and con-
gested. Municipalities on through
roads find it pays dividends to build
the CUTOFF and attracts more bust
ness to the town than to force
through traffic to another route to
avoid city congestion.
