A commendable fbature from the motorist’s point of view, is an eight-foot safety kone on leach, side of the kerbiess; road, on to which cars could , run in an emergency.'


On a road which had to cross other roads, rivers, railways and cahals, there is not one single Crossroad—at least of normal'type.


' Fly-over intersections, bridges,


viaducts and tunnels ensure an uninterrupted fast run


for motorists whose forward visibility would never be lefc than 950ft.


Dangerous hills are levelled out—the steepest gradient is 1 in 25.


Mr. Whittaker owes a great deal of his success to the assistance given to him by Mr. Hi Kendrick, engineer­ ing assistant in the Borough Engineer's Department, '


Together, working in their spare time, thpy spent many evenings over a period of t h r e e months preparing their ambitious scheme.


The award to Mr. Whittaker will be made at the annual luncheon'of the Institution of Highway Engineers in London in December, i
