California's participation in the
fourth annual observance of National Highway Week will be
highlighted by freeway openings,
exhibits, and other special programs designed to focus attention
on the state's highway transportation progress, accroding to Harrison R, Baker of Pasadena, chairman of the statewide committee
coordinating the week's activiities,
Baker, a Southern California
civic leader and former member
of the California Highway Commission, urged Californians to
take advantage of the week's
events, between October 4 and
10, to gain fresh perspective on
“not just a road program, but a
new system of transportation. "
President Lyndon B, Johnson
has officially proclaimed National Highway Week "in recognition of the importance of highway transportation to the social
and economic progress and defense of our nation."
In Sacramento, Governor Edmund G, Brown's Highway Week
statement pointed out that California's 1,430 miles of completed
freeways carry one-fifth of all the
state's motor travel, and provide
twice the safety of conventional
roads,
Baker also noted that this year
is the 25th anniversary of California's freeway law, a pioneering
statute which serves as the foundation for the State's 12,400mile freeway-expressway system
now in various stages of operation,
construction or planning.
“The organizations and individuals who are spearheading National Highway Week in California are very well aware of the
local controversies which crop up
in some built -up areas when freeway proposals are advanced, "
Baker said, “We are also cognizant of the problems involved in
providing adequate transportation
in areas of scenic beauty.
“These discussions, however,
should not cause us to lose sight
of the fact that the freeways
which have been completed and
are now serving our traffic and
our communities have invariably
helped tosolve the problem which
is really at the heart of the controversy--lots and lots of people
and cars, with many more coming. This is not just a road program, but a new system of transportation geared to California's
future."Fou fast, service
