204: Roads of Sprawl

Examples of the roads that are 'strip roads,' are Route 1, Liberty Road, and Route 40. These roads are pretty well known and the way we feel about them. They have the characteristic that boils down to: during rush hour, you do not want to be making left turns. In fact, most of these roads make turning on to these thruways very painful.

I got lazy and decided to rant about it on tape instead of just write it...but this is a good primer to my way of thinking about College Park, MD.

103a: College Park, MD

Route 1. Baltimore Avenue.

One cannot discuss CP without going in depth into the road that is the main source of traffic to and from the campus of the University of Maryland. The road is a prime strip road, where business off the artery tend to create a very uncompromising picture and lifestyle for the pedestrian. Please check the website for more information on this specific proposal.
