WIDE HIGHWAYS CALLED SAFEST FOR MOTORISTS President Hayes of Chicago Motor Club Shows Faults of Narrow Roads The slogan, "Wider Highways are Safer Highways," is finding much fa- vor among motorists who have occa- sion to negotiate the present system of narrow roads prevailing throughout the country, according to Charles M. Hayes, of Winnetka, President of the Chicago Motor Club, and chairman of the National Wider Highways Com- mittee of the American Automobile as- sociation. "Congestion is one of the greatest contributing causes to automobile ac- cidents," says Mr. Hayes. "Narrow roads can carry only two lanes of traf- fic. If there is a stop light where the road leads through a village, the flash- ing of the red light will back traffic up for miles on Saturdays, Sundays or holidays. A slow-moving vehicle, whether it is a truck or someone 'breaking in' a new car, can hold up traffic for miles, causing great delay and irritation. "Any driver wishing to pass another car must turn out into the path of ve- hicles coming from the opposite direc- tion, and this is the cause of many serious and fatal accidents. This is all dangerous, it is costly, it is nerve- racking, and it is unnecessary. Increasing density of motor traffic is causing the construction of wider highways in all parts of the country. This is particularly true of main routes tapping metropolitan areas. Examples are the Bayshore High- way section being constructed by San Francisco within the city limits to a width of 125-feet with a 100-foot paved roadway; the Bayshore High way down the Peninsula with a 120- foot right-of-way, now being graded to 60-feet width with a present paved portion of 40-feet; the recently re- aligned section of the main coast route south from San Francico with an overall width of 80-feet, consisting of two 30-foot pavements with provision for 10-feet additional on each side; the 100-foot wide Great Highway in San Francisco, consisting of two 50- foot sections; and the extension of Juniper Serra boulevard in the city at a 100-foot paved width. The state of Michigan has an avenue in Wayne county with a 204-foot right- of-way for 16 miles between Detroit and Pontiac. It consists of two 44- foot pavements separated by an elec- tric railway. "PREP" COACH AIDS MOTORISTS M. H Wykoff, athletic coach of Joliet Township High School, is spending his vacation as a representative of the Motorists Association of Illinois in the Joliet territory. Irving Park boulevard is now open to traffic between Mannheim road and the county line; however, this road is closed between Cumberland avenue and Mannheim road. Traffic should be detoured south on Cumberland ave- nue to Forest Preserve road; southwest to River road; north to Bryn Mawr avenue; west to Mannheim road; and south to Irving Park boulevard. Chicago to Lake Geneva, Wis.--Via Illinois-19 to Illinois-60; Illinois-60 to Tllinois-20; Illinois-20 to McHenry; Illinois-61 to the Illinois-Wisconsin state line; US-12 to Lake Geneva, 73.6 miles. The last stretch of new pave- ment was opened on this route on Au- gust 12. This route is now all paved. When cars are parked and space is limited, the considerate motorist will give thought to those who will come after him, and will not park carelessly, so as to waste space. ~™
