G00DP1 j KUAUOggg J WIDER ROADWAYS AVERT ACCIDENTS ?] It la estimated by Minnesota hlghway officials that one of the greatest errors in road construction during the past ten years has been building ef roads and bridges which are teo narrow to properly care for the constantly increasing traffic. Moot ef the public highways In Minnesota have a right-of-way, which la 4 roda or M feot In widih, but la many tocalltiee this has been found to be Inadequate for trunk highway construction, and the state highway department baa la several Instances provided a rlght-of- way, having a minimum width ef M feet. In some cases nanr congested '.-enters of population, 140 feet has - been provided. The minimum width af roadways, the traveled portion of the highway provided on trunk-route construction. Is 30 feet, and the minimum width of pavement being constructed, la 14 -:3 feet. On many sections, however, the heavier traveled routes are being graded to provide for a 88-foot roadway which will accommodate a pavement width suitable for four lines of ~ vehicular traffic, side by side. This will permit the slowly-moving traffic to follow the extreme right-band side of the roadway and allow faster veI hides to overtake and pass the slower ones without danger of a collision with vehicles coming from ths opposite direction. Tv?o reasons are g*ven for the Inadequate width of some of the pres ent roads. One Is ths lack ef vision and failure to estimate the vast Increase of motor vehicle transportation, and the other Is that of the false economy. The number of motor vehicles using the highways in Minnesota has doubled In the last six years, but a road built six years ago, In most cases, still has the same width. Actual experience has proved that building a road of adequate , width can be accomplished much cheaper at time of construction than adding to the width at a later date. If adequate widths of subgrade and structures are provided, a narrow pavement which at the time of construction was adequate for the traffic, then existing, can be widened at approximately the same unit cost which was expended for the original job. .
