Abstract
The phenomenal increase in motor-vehicle transportation emphasizes the need for making the most efficient use of existing streets and highways. The one-way street offers an inexpensive, effective tool for better urban street use . The advantages of one-way streets include (a) increased traffic capacity, (b) relatively low cost, (c) reduction in accidents, (d) ease of accomplishment, (e) higher operating speeds, and (f) flexibility in meeting changing traffic patterns. These gains far outweigh the disadvantages of longer travel for some traffic, confusion to strangers, and a possible disruptive effect on certain types of business.
