Ring Roads
Opening context:
Local Transport Areas, Interchange, Web of Public Transportation
Conflict
It is not possible to avoid the need for high speed roads in modern society; but it is essential to place them and build them in such a way that they do not destroy communities or countryside.
Resolution
Place high speed roads so that:
-
At least one high speed road lies tangent to each local transport area.
-
Each local transport are has at least one side not bounded by a high speed road but directly open to the countryside.
-
The road is always sunken or shielded along its length by berms, or earth or industrial buildings, to protect the nearby neighborhoods from noise.
