This Is in line with the process

Wisconsin boasts OF four coup-
ties considering the construction Of
forty-foots highways, with plans
that may call for splitting the
roads into two onesway twenty
foot highways separated by strips
of gravel or park. All over the
country, in fact, the four-lane high
way Is becoming d reality. The
main arteries Of travel are being
improved so that traffic can flow
more readily than 1t could ever
hope to over q winding, narrow

fic might use the latter.
Bigger arteries OF travel appear
to be the answer to highway safety.

8 When the Ideal Section OF the
Lincoln Highway at Dyer, Ind,
was first conceived, not d few intel
EIigent persons viewed 1t as an i'm
practical move. .,5
To many faotorista 1t seemed like
an ornamental section Of a famous
highway, and there were those who
subscribed to the idea mainly with
the thought that 1t represented d
monument to the transcontlnental
idea.
This particular section Is 40 feet
wide, and as such Is merely last
years model ir1-super- highways.

oughfare Of Los Angeles, is being
widened to IS feet for distance Of

Los Angeles toward the San Fer.
nando Valley and San Francisco is
now being increased in width from

Ind, three-lane highways are quite
common.
It Is only a comparatively short
while ago that Philadelphia re-
joiced over the completion Of the
White Horse Pike across the State
OF New Jersey, from Camden to At
lantic City.
This highway. now 20 feet in
width, Is being widened to 40 feet
for it's entire length. Ten feet are
being added to the south side. and
soon an extra 10 will be added to
the north.
Great Traffic Arteries

oping from Darby. near Philadel-
phia, to Chester.
A year or so ago there was con.
siderable talk of an industrial high
way between these points, the new
highway to be used by commercial
vehicles only. All such plans. how
ever, appear TO be giving way to
the scheme of so widening existing
highways as to take care of all

way interfering with passenger car
traffic.
The Chester Pike has been wild.
ened to point where it has be-
come a 35-foot boulevard for SIX

still further to SIS feet in the near
future. 81
This IL not the only important
project slated for realization in the
Keystone State.
Eventually the Lincoln Highway
through Pennsylvania will be q 40
foot boulevard.
Ten miles OF 1t near Philadelphia
already have been widened in ac-
cordance with these specifications.
Four counties in an around Chi
cago, as well as the counties in
which are located Milwaukee and
Detroit, have adopted resolutions
to make present highways OF the
fortyfoot type.
Chicago already has the double
decked street known as Wacker
Drive which provides foshteen traf-
fic lanes.
Super. Highway Theories
The super-highway is predicated
on the theory that traffic corges-
ton can be avoided through q
greater number of lanes built into
existing highways rather than to
. greater number OF alternate
highways.

of frightening highways.
