MOTOR TEST ROAD.
EXPERIMENTAL HIGHWAY. A long stretch "of main road, built parallel to one of the country's great trunk roads, and maintained solely tor experimental purposes, is foreshadowed in a Hill the Minister of Transport will shortly introduce in the House of Commons. Ihe Minister believes that only by such a test road can experiments on the durability and skiuiiing propensities of tho various suriaco materials b<? correctly gauged. To obtain power to go forward with this scheme is one of the objects of his JJoads Improvement Bill. Traffic .will be diverted to the test road from the adjoining highway, and a record kept of tho number and characteristics of the vehicles vhich use it. When a trial section has been worn, or has served its purpose, the test -oad will be closed while another type of material is laid, traffic resuming its course along the old highway. _
