Lace of Country Streets

Towns · Region

Context City Country Fingers3

Problem

When country roads are cut as wide, straight corridors across open land, they slice through fields and farms and invite in more traffic than the countryside ever needed.

Solution

Lay country roads as a loose, wide-meshed lace that follows the line of the farms and opens up the land sparingly, instead of carving it apart with broad through-routes.
