UNITED STATES DEVELOPS
DISTINCTIVE HOADS
If proof were necessary dutt th*
United State*, which thank* to tht
•’-"olonmsnt of th* motor vehicle, if
row passing through the moat inten
sive rsried of highway development
in the history of the world, is building
roads that surpass in quality anything
of the kind constructed since the days
of the Roman Empire, that proof it
to bs found jn abundance. It exists
net only in the qhality and quantitj
of American highways but in the de
velopment of road-building method*
and materials. The road builders o'
this country have not only outstrip
ped their ancient predecessors in the
use of the most ancient materials bu
are getting better results with great
er speed, less labor and power cost.
Motorists may be interested in
knowing that in the United States
are now to be found some of the
most o' -tinetive as well as the mot*
I’mrre and interesting highways in
existence. The United States possess
e:5 the longest paved motor road in
the world, the Pacific Highway, run
ring from Vancouver, B. C., along
•he Pacific coast to the Mexican bor
der, a distance of 1,476 miles. In thit
country also is to be found the high
est motor road in the world—that on
Pike’s Peak in Colorado, 14,109 feel
above th» level of the sea. Nevada
Avenue-, Colorado Springs, Colorado,
-0 3-49 feet above sea level is the high
• pm-ed street in the world and
Street, Philadelphia, i» the
The shortest and narrowest
■ tor road-in existence is like
•v-‘-e American. It traverses Smith’s
Tslnr.d one of the little islands in the
lower Chesapeake Bay, near Chris
*Vd Kd. This road is less than a
"" vie and is just wide enough
mjt the passage of one motor
* a time. At interval* there are
"r • or “pasting tracks," where
• i,.. , i-. pa#* each other,
tv his country Is to be found not
n!y the 'most unique paved itreet in
‘he world, but three of the world's
m-v-t beautiful and famous asphalt
vaved mountain roads—the Columbia
Ri«*r Highway in Oregon, the ftterm
King Highway which overlooks the
Hudson River and “America's Val
ley of the Shine” from the Peefafcffl
Mountains in New York, and the
T.aokf.wana Trail which runs from
PMrware Water Gap ' through the
Poceno Mountains is f’liinejlissla
The unique street referred to hi Lom
bard Street, San Prancfseo, a twist
ing thoroughfare which climb* a steep
hillisde at 30 percent grade in much
the game manner as a grape vine
cKmbs a pole. *
Various sneinet paving materials
have entered into the construction of
these thoroughfares, chief of which
is asphalt, the oldest waterproof ad
eurrtng u UmMtont and sandstone
impregnated wit asphalt and later
mixed with vegetable and mineral
matter in poola and lake*, notably
those in Trinidad and Venemela.
Within the last ten years it has been
found in apparently inexhaustible
quantities embodied in the heavy pe
troleums of Mexico and California.
These petroleums are now subjected
to * refining process by American as
phalt producers by which the lighter
oils are removed. The asphalt thus
made available constitutes the finest
of all asphalts and is 99.5 percent
pure bitumen. Sixty-eight per cent of
all the asphalt used in the United
States at the present time is obtained
from Mexican asphaltic petroleum. It
i* in this respect that American in
genuity and skill have greatly im
proved for highway work the mo.t
indent of all paving materials and
have placed at the service of the Am
rican motorist the finest paved
roads ever constructed.
While the United States is rapidly
:oming to the front in the matter of
.distinctive highways this country still
has far to go before it can take from
European nations other records for
unique thoroughfares that feature
their highway systems. The sortest
street in the world, for instance, is to
be found not in the United Sates but
in Prance. It'is the Rue Ble of Paris.
The narrowest street in the world is
the Via Sol in Havana, Cuba, a
thoroughfare only 47 inches in
width. The most unique paved motor
road in the world is that of the Via
Nizza, an asphalt roadway construct
ed upon the roof of the Fiat Motor
Works, at Lingotto, Italy.
To Nankin, China, goes the rather
doubtful credit of having the dirtiest
street in the worldythe Tchansti. The
Via Castile in Seville, Spain, has long
had the distinction of being the clean
qst street in the world, Fifth Avenue
New York City, harbors more wealth
than any other thoroughfare although
Grosvenor Place, London, is the most
aristocratic. Both of these famous
thoroughfares are superbly paved
with asphalt.
To Pearl 8treet, New York City, la
granted the palm as the noisiest street
in existence, while it is a matter of
dispute as to whethtr Michigan Ave.,
Chicago; Columbua Circle, New York
City, or New York Avenue at Four
teenth Street in Washington, D. C. is
the most dangerous street to cross.
The most angerous road In existence
is the Cornlche Road which winds its
way above the Mediterranean from
Laturbia to Nice in France along one
edge of which for many miles there
is a sheer drop of 1,000 feet. Broad
Street, Philadelphia, fourteen miles
long, is the longest straight street in
the world and Broadway, New York,
fifteen and qne-half miles long in
length, is the longest.
The most beautiful thoroughfare in
the world is the wonderful Champs
Ely sees in Paris. Wall Street, New
York, occupies the pinnacle of fame.
To the Appian Way of Rome, built
by Julius Caesar at the height of Ro
man ascendancy and still in good re
pair, goes the distinction of being the
oldest highway still in service.
Thus it is to American highway
engineers goes the credit of construct
ing the longest paved motor road, the
highest motor road in point 0f alti
tude, the shortest and narrowest
paved motor road, three of the worlds
‘Inest scenic roads, the highest street
the widest street, the richest street,
-he longst street, the longest straight
treet and the most famous street in
til the world. To American engineers
must go also the credit of developing
‘.he oldest road material known tt
man to a point wher in its applica
tion to our modem motor roads it af
fords luxurious riding and service
that is nearly one hundred per cent
perfect.
