When you are driving along a modern highway, enjoying a smooth ride, give a
thought to the traffic engineers who designed such roads for your safety.
Overhead crossings and underpasses, cloverleaf s, traffic circles and smoothly graded
curves all are modern examples of highway designs that have prevented countless
accidents and saved many lives.
Remember that good traffic engineering is real economy. It builds safety into
streets and highways, and it need not be costly.
Often a few dollars wisely expended by a competent engineer can drastically
reduce a serious death and injury toll—eliminate traffic congestion. Warnings, mark
ings, safe speed limits and danger zones tell you how to drive with safety. The rest
is up to you.
Our great new highways are Designs for Living. Play fair, use them safely and
