A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
As far as is known from the records, the term, “super-highway,” was coined by Daniel L. Turner, M. Am. Soc. C. E., to describe a single-level, all-purpose highway designed to provide an exclusive right of way for rail transit in combination with superior facilities for movement of heavy-volume motor traffic created in metropolitan areas.
The design was applied by Mr. Turner as the keynote of his plan for a coordinated thoroughfare system within the developed section of Detroit, Mich., and its expansion into a regional plan for the Metropolitan Area, later adopted as the Master Plan for Detroit and the three counties affected.
