摘要: In this luncheon address at the National Conference on Corridor Traffic Management for Major Highway Reconstruction, Hal Kassoff, State Highway Administrator in the Maryland Department of Transportation, reflects on the past, present, and future of the nation's highway system. In the past new roads were built on new locations, and managing traffic was simply not a horrendous problem. But now, in 1986, traffic volumes have grown, drivers are used to the convenience of freeways, a demanding and impatient public has grown to rely on the highway system, and public transportation capacities are generally lower than they were a generation ago. The future depends on the response to a fundamental choice. This is the choice of whether providing an acceptable quality of highway service during the perennial process of highway reconstruction remains a desirable but adjunct factor to consider among the myriad factors that must be taken into account - factors such as funding, engineering, environment, construction management and maintenance of traffic - or, and this is the choice, whether the provision of adequate traffic service becomes a compelling, overriding objective - an objective of paramount concern.
