Suburban highways and roads as instruments of land use change. Paper presented at the 54th Annual Meeting of the Transportation Research Board TRB, Washington, January 1975.

Highway and road capacity in suburban areas can be used to effectively control land development in the same manner as sewer connections and capacity are used. Highway and road capacity constraints could be used effectively to control land development through the exercising of an adequate public facilities ordinance. This is discussed in the context of a rapidly growing suburban area.
