10. WHY ARE BY-PASSES BUILT

Thats the final question in What Happens When A By-Pass Is Built a book for kids published in the early 1970s seemingly to help kids understand why by-passes are a good thing. It attempts to give a balanced outlook but seems to come down pretty squarely in “bypasses are the answer”. The book is a delightful cry for the freedom modernism, especially the last few pages, be great to see some of the others in the series especially “A district is reborn”.
