ACHIEVING ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY AND THE HIGHWAY BEAUTIFICATION ACT OF 1965

METHODS OF ACHIEVING A HIGH QUALITY HIGHWAY ENVIRONMENT ARE DISCUSSED. IT IS SUGGESTED THAT THE LOCATION OF ADVERTISING ZONES COULD BE RATIONALLY DETERMINED IN REFERENCE TO PERFORMANCE STANDARDS BASED ON THE NEED FOR INFORMATION, THE CONSERVATION OF AREAS OF NATURAL BEAUTY, ETC., AND NOT ON HAPHAZARD LOCAL COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL ZONING. FROM THE VIEWPOINT OF FINANCE, A PRACTICAL IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY WOULD INTRODUCE THE SYSTEMS CONCEPT GRADUALLY BY CONCENTRATING ON IMPROVING THE DESIGN OF NEW HIGHWAYS AND REMEDIAL WORK ON THE EXISTING INTERSTATE SYSTEM, WITH IMPROVEMENT PROGRAMS AT MAJOR INTERSECTIONS OF THE PRIMARY SYSTEM, RATHER THAN ALONG THE ENTIRE EXISTING LENGTH.
