The expressway system stretching far beyond the city limits speeded the decentralization of white population to the suburbs.
Expressway building and urban renewal programmes in the 1950s and 1960s provided powerful tools to reshape urban space and its uses.
On the other hand, private discourse often laments the loss of beloved places - the meadow turned into a mall, the city neighborhood cut through by an expressway.
No one in his right mind would attempt to cross the expressway on foot, because the traffic is so heavy.
There are a number of advantages to an expressway.
An expressway could be designed to suit long-distance journeys with fewer junctions, and could also improve conditions on the original road, freeing up space there.
Expressways have been built instead of feeder roads to markets; office blocks have been built when homes were needed instead of shanty towns.
As for the first junction, there is already a considerable problem with traffic tailback at the expressway, particularly in the evening rush hour.
