When tbn history oi those post-war years conies to bo written (says the London Daily Chronicle) perhaps a. place will be reserved for our roadmaking efforts. Not since the Romans invaded England has there been such an organised building of new arterial roads—all urgently needed to carry the. increasing volume of fast and heavy motor traffic. The roads of our peace era will be notable chiefly for their width.. Nearly all of them are about 100 feet wide, with a building line'2o to 25 feet back on either side, thus giving a total width of 1 10 to 150 feet across.
