Burch, James S.

Abstract:

Traffic officers and enforcement officials are interested in traffic mainly from the standpoint of traffic control brought about through actions of the driver. They are prone to consider that the driver is the only avenue of approach to the solution of all traffic problems. Burch argues that broader and more fundamental approaches to planning such as road plans may remove some of the basic causes of traffic.

Abstract:

This article presents the slow and cumbersome process of road building by providing readers with the example of how I-85 and I-40 merge in Alamance County, causing a bottleneck situation and traffic. North Carolina politicians underinvested in its transportation network over the past thirty years, and motorists are paying dearly for it today.
