| Abstract: |
Every year Americans spend more time in their cars. In recent decades, trips and mileage have increased by up to 85 percent. Today Americans travel 2.3 billion miles daily on urban freeways and highways. They pass slices of landscape — called freeway roadsides — which are valuable land resources beyond the white lines. This issue of TreeLink examines the peace of mind and other benefits that these roadsides and rest areas — 97,500 acres in Washington alone — offer stressed motorists. |
