A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
The purpose of the paper is to present for criticism and discussion a process of reasoning and analysis in highway design rather than to set forth definite rules and data; to suggest necessary test and research projects; to emphasize that design should provide positive safety at the speeds of which vehicles are now capable, or may be capable, in the near future; and to suggest an immediate raising of design standards for trunk highways. The paper presents only an outline of a broad subject and is intended principally to direct attention in a positive manner to safety in highway design.
