THE ROADSIDE IN HIGHWAY DESIGN

DURING THE YEARS SINCE THE SETTING UP OF THE COMMITTEE ON ROADSIDE DEVELOPMENT, STATE HIGHWAY DEPARTMENTS IN ALL REGIONS OF THE COUNTRY HAVE CARRIED OUT ROADSIDE DEVELOPMENT WORK ON HIGHWAYS OF THE FEDERIAL-AID SYSTEM. MOST SUCCESSFUL ROADSIDE WORK HAS BEEN INTEGRATED WITH HIGHWAY RIGHT-OF-WAY ACQUISITION, LOCATION, DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION, AND MAINTENANCE. FOR A FULL UNDERSTANDING OF PROGRESS MADE IN ROADSIDE DEVELOPMENT, IT WILL BE HELPFUL TO NOTE THE HIGH POINTS OF CHANGE AND ADVANCE MADE IN THE DESIGN OF HIGHWAYS AS A WHOLE. /AUTHOR/
