The automobile, particularly the
heavy truck now supplanting the
freight train and the steamboat to a
large extent wherever possible, is
primarily responsible for the need of
a new highway program in Maryland.
Because highway development has
not kept pace with the advances in
design and increased use of motor
vehicles, Maryland today finds itself
in possession of a considerable mile
age If primary State highways that
are out-of-date and inadequate to
meet modern demands; large mile
age of paved and more or less salts
factory secondary roads and very
large mileage of unimproved dirt
roads that are no different in char
acter from early and primitive roads.
