"That would mean that there were less cars on the other roads too...."Yes, but it wasn't the amount of cars that slowed you down then. The local roads were plagued with stop signs, frequent turns, grade changes, low speed limits and traffic lights. That's what increased the time to travel to the beaches, not the traffic. The parkways were straight and limited access and you could do a steady 40 or 50 mph even on hot summer days because there were few cars. I said the difference today is less dramatic because on a hot summer day, you just sit in traffic on Moses' parkways, so the local roads could actually even be faster. |
