Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Roadside Development Improved roads have become a necessity to practically every community. In the past, road construction has been directed chiefly toward improving the traveled way only, which, of course, is of first importance. The increased use of roads, however, has brought about the necessity for greater widths, more intensive maintenance, safety, comfort, and convenience of travel, involving a more or less complete development of the entire right-of-way. Roads are now built over and under railroads to eliminate the danger of grade crossings, and lights, warning signals, and direction signs are being installed on open crossings. Trees are being planted and unsightly places landscaped. The demand is growing for the economic utilization of the entire width of the road right-of-way. Since proper roadside development is directly beneficial to road-users, abutting property owners, and communities at large, it should be included in every road program. Road authorities are as responsible for the complete development of a road as for the construction and maintenance of the traveled way. The work as described in this book is not a matter of beautifying the highways as it is so often referred to, but is the business of developing the highways for the purpose of safely increasing their practical use and improving the roadsides to a degree where Nature can step in and make them beautiful.
