of one-way streets, would serve
both as distributor and a by
pass. In order that it be as at
tractive as possible, parking
should be prohibited, and a pro-
gressive signal system installed
which would give it equal pref
erence with other arterials. On
the basis of data obtained in
the transportation study, it is
estimated that approximately
rs per cent of the total traffic
in the central area is assignable
to this bypass route.
1t is also proposed that GER
tain Streets be operated one
way and widened to provide
additional capacity Immediately
needed. Other pairs of streets
should be added progressively
to the one-way system as the
need develops and conditions
permit. Studies by the High
way Research Board reveal that
conversion to one-way opera
ton will materially increase the
capacity of a city street. On the
average. a 32-foot street will
accommodate approximately 40
per cent more vehicles if oper-
ated one way.
Street widening and the con-
struction of bypass roads to
relieve congestion in the sub
urban centers are included in
the program.

Suburban Growth
Presents Bio Problem

Outside the downtown area,
the heaviest traffic flows are
carried by the radials which
connect the outlying areas with
the central city. Traffic increases
in the District of Columbia have
created volumes which severely
tax the capacity of many of
these routes. A much more i'm
portant factor, however, has
been the tremendous suburban
development in Virginia and
Maryland. This expansion has
increased travel to such an ex-
tent that many of the radials
are now inadequate. Projects
are included in the program
to increase the capacity of these
radials. Worthy of special men
ton are proposals for providing
more bridge capacity across the
Potomac River.
The Importance of cross-town
and cross-county traffic is
clearly shown in the findings of
the transportation study. Exist
ing facilities for these move
ments are inadequate and prof.
ectS are included in the program
to increase the capacity of the
routes that will most advan-
tageously satisfy this demand.
These improvements will also
relieve some of the radials which
must now serve as connectors
between sections of cross-county
routes in the absence of salts
factory belt facilities.
Finally. it is recommended
that surveys be made to estab-
lish the line of an outer-circum-
ferential highway, that the
right-of-way be purchased and
that a section in Maryland be-
tween U. S. 240 and the Balti-
more-Washington parkway be
constructed. Although current
traffic demands do not warrant
the assignment of a high prior
ity to some sections of the outer
circumferential, it would serve
through traffic as well as traffic
between suburban centers. and
its Importance will increase as
the metropolitan area grows.
To be of maximum service it
should be located as close to
the built-up areas as practicable.
Suburban development has al
ready been so extensive that de-
sirable locations have been
blocked. Undoubtedly this out
ward development will continue.
and the inevitable result will be
to push the circumferential far
ther out unless immediate ac-
ton is taken to acquire the
right-of-way.

come needed during the period
required for the construction of
the first group. Projects in the
second group should be re-
examined at a later date to per-
NIT adjustments for any signifi-
cant changes in traffic distribu-
ton, either because of improve
mentS made in the first period
or because of unforeseen devel-
opmentS.
Layout sketches and detailed
descriptions of the individual
projects are presented in the
report. A recapitulation of the
program showing estimated
costs follows this statement.
Costs have been estimated using
average quantities and unit cost
at current price levels. An item
has been included for miscel-
laneous resurfacing, minor
structures. ETC., which are not
described or illustrated.
The program was formulated
on the basis of traffic needs and
existing highway budgets were
ignored. The committee, how
ever. has kept its recommends
tions within reasonable limits.
The proposals provide for the
maximum utilization of existing
facilities and expensive freeway
construction has been recon-
mended only where the prop
erty damage would not be ex-
ceSSive.
The engineering investiga-
tionS of the recommended prof.
ects were limited to reconnais-
sance surveys to determine fea-
sibility of construction. Al
though typical cross-sections
have been indicated, final de-
sign and geometric standards
will have to be established by
detailed engineering studies.
However the highest practi-
cable standards, including such
features as access-control, spe-
cial left-turn lanes, bus turn
outs. ETC., should be adopted.
Some projects involve other
than traffic and engineering
factors which will require full
administrative and planning
consideration before final deci-
sions are reached. The effects
OF highway Improvements on
land uses and values, internal
neighborhood planning. stabil-
ity of residential areas, park de-
velopment and the economic
aspects of bus substitution for
streetcars are factors which
were deemed to be beyond the
scope of the committees present
study. Because these factors
deserve full consideration, and
because of the departures from
the thoroughfare plan of the
National Capital Planning Com
mission, the comments and rec
concentrations of that commits
sion as to the broad relation
ships of the program to the
comprehensive plan should be
requested.
The cooperation of other
government agencies at Federal
and local level will be essential
to carry out many of the more
important projects in the pro-
gram. Their views should be
sought and considered carefully.

Highway Group Statement Released With Plan

FOLLOWING is the tert of a
general statement" released BY
the Regional HighUdy Planning
Committee simultaneously iUith
detailed plans the committee
recommended for Developing the
highway system of the Washing
ton Metropolitan Area:
The Regional Highway Plan
ming Committee has developed
an overall program integral
ing the highway improvements
deemed most needed in the
several Jurisdictions comprising
the Washington Metropolitan
area. This program has been
approved in principle by all
members of the committee, al
though individual members have
reservations concerning specific
projects. It is recommended for
consideration by the agencies
responsible for street and high
way planning, construction and
operation.
The program is based on the
findings Of the Washington
Metropolitan Area Transporta-
ton Study which provided fac
tual origin and destination data
on the daily vehicular move
ments in the area. Analysis pro-
cedures were established which
permitted not only the determi-
nation of the improvements
needed to satisfy existing traf-
f1c demands, but also an evalua-
ton of these improvements in
relation to a probable long
range highway plan. The basic
travel data were used to meas
ure the traffic service that
would be rendered by such an
ultimate highway system. The
system tested in this manner
was based on the thoroughfare
plan of the National Capital
Planning Commission. A few
additions were made to the
commissions plan, and the
classification of some routes
was changed by the committee
for the purpose of this analysis.
The trips recorded in the
transportation study were ex-
amined to determine eligibility
for assignment to one or more
sections of the assumed system,
with travel time as the index
of eligibility. Each trip was
assigned to the route which
required the least travel time
from origin to destination. The
average speeds for existing
streets were determined by ac-
tual field runs, and speeds con-
sistent with proposed design
standards were adopted for the
thoroughfare system. Trips thus
assigned were totaled to obtain
the potential traffic volumes
for each section of the system.
These potential volumes to-
gether with the measure of re-
lief that would be provided for
presently overloaded facilities
were the primary criteria used
in selecting the projects in
cluded in the improvement pro-
gram.

Program Is Designed
With Four Purposes

The program is designed D
to increase the capacity of the
street system in downtown
Washington and the congested
suburban centers; CD to in
crease the capacity of impor-
tant radials: CD to increase the
capacity of cross-town and
cross-county routes, and a. to
make possible the construction
of an outer-circumferentia
highway in the most advantage
Gus location at such time as its
construction is warranted.
Downtown Washington with
its concentration of commercial
establishments and Federal
employment centers is the area
where traffic is most seriously
congested. An inner belt around
this downtown area is proposed.

Maryland Has Made,
Plans for Financinq
lis Part Of Program

How would the multi-million
dollar District -Maryland-Virginia
regional highway program be paid
for?
AT the moment, only one of the
three Jurisdictions involved has
made hard and fast recommended
tons for financing it's own part
OF the proposed blueprint: Mary
land.
When it released its own pro-
gram recently for Statewide con-
struction. including the Washing
ton suburbs. the Maryland State
Roads Commission advocated:
Increasing the State gasoline
tax by one cent for a total of six
cents; substantially raising auto
mobile and truck registration fees
and authorizing bond issues.
In addition the Commission
suggested that the possibility of
toll roads might be studied.
Oppose Higher Assessments.
District highway officials are
opposed to raising any of the
present assessments whose pro-
ceeds now flow into the highway
fund. These include gas tax. curb
and sidewalk levies and fees for
inspection, registration, operators
permits and titles.
On the other hand, they are
Joined in large part by the Cit
izenS' Advisory Committee on
Public Works. in wanting various
vehicular levies now producing
for the general fund to be
switched to> the highway fund.
These include the personal
property tax on automobiles, ex-
else tax, levies on public transit
systems and the sales tax on
automobile oil sales. Highway au-
thorities also have considered the
idea of making traffic fines pay
able to the highway fund.
With the recent gas tax increase
to five cents here. the District
expects to get about 81 million
more from that source than the
$10.9 million received last year.
Getting the other vehicular taxes
transferred to the highway fund
would mean about $6 million more
for the fund, it was estimated.
Part of Police Pay.
A top official pointed out that
from the fund must be paid about
$2.5 million annually for the up
keep of the Vehicles and Traffic
Department and Is per cent of po-
lice salaries, as well as highway
maintenance costs, before any
capital outlay expenditures may
be contemplated.
Virginia authorities have not
yet come up with road improve
ment financing program. 1t might
be expected to follow the same
lines as Maryland recommended
tions, with a possible reluctance to
raise the present six-cent State
gas tax, highest of the three juris-
dictionS.
The two State legislatures
would have to approve the high
way improvement expenditures
urged by the regional committee.
In the District, Congress. the local
legislature, would have to give the
go-ahead.

highway departments have in
dorsed the entire regional COM
mittee plan in principle. Top
officials of both, in fact, are men,
berS of the committee.
The District Commissioners have
long since approved in principle
the Washington portion of the
program.
Direct Attack on Problem.
A striking fact of the commit
tees work has been an active
realization of the need for a CO.
ordinated attack on the steadily
worsening problem of traffic con-
gestion, largely due to the in
adequacy of the overall street
system, in the Metropolitan area.
AS population has scared phe-
nomenally and more automobiles
have taken to the roads, highway
development has remained strict
ly limited and for the most part
uncohesive among the three geo.
graphical jurisdiction.
The regional committee, made
up almost exclusively of practical
minded highway specialists. seeks
to end the piecemeal and uni
lateral approach of the past. The
group is headed by Sam R. Harri-
son. deputy director of the Dis
trict Highway Department.
In all, the committee contem-
plates 86 major individual i'm
provement projects: 81 in the
District, 33 in Maryland and 16
in Virginia. A number are con-
troversial. These include the pro-
posed E Street Bridge linking the
city with Arlington; the proposed
Rock Creek Parkway. stretching
we'll into Montgomery County
from downtown Washington; a
two-pronged Washington Nation
al Pike aimed toward Frederick,
Md, and the recommended treat
ment of Ohio drive along the city
waterfront in West Potomac Park.
Parking Program Urged. -
But regardless of disputed seq
ments of the program, the COM
mittee has trained it's sights on
four fundamental targets: In
creasing the highway capacities
of congested sections of downtown
Washington and suburban CEN
ters, of important radial routes
feeding these congested areas, OF
cross-toWn and croSs-county con-
Meeting thoIoughfares and buying
of right-of-ways for a perimeter
route to bypass traffic around the
city.
At the same time, the commit
tee recognized the Importance OF
developing comprehensive off,
street parking program in down.
town Washington in conjunction
with highway improvement work.
Emphasis, also was placed on
developing public transit to its
full potential" as the highway
program is carried out.
Throughout, the need for speed
is of overweaning Importance, the
planners asserted. In connection
with mass transportation, for ex-
ample, the committee pointed out
that some highway projects-such
as the East Capitol Street Bridge
are imminent. Steps should be
taken without delay" to co-ordi-
nate removal or relocation OF
streetcar tracks on the street ap-
proaches to the bridge now abuild-
ing.
BY the same token, no time
should be lost acquiring right-of-
way for circumferential bypass
in Maryland and Virginia, the
committee emphasized. This route,
it was noted, should be as close
to the built-up areas as possible.
Rapid suburban housing growth
already has blocked some sections
desirable for the perimeter road
way. Further housing develop
ment will inevitably push the cir
cumferential farther out.
