Motor Vehicles Dominated In Urban Areas
Motor vehicles also dominate goods movements in urban areas. First of all, they take the urban bound intercity motor freight directly to its destination or to terminals for distribution by smaller trucks. Then they dstibute all sorts of products within individual urban areas and consolidate loads for intercity transport. In addition, the whole gamut of public services ranging from garbage and trush collection to maintenance of streets and utilities based on truck transport.
Motor transportation has also changed the faces of our cities. Until some 50 year ago, urban populations were concentrated in limited, tightly knit areas, largely because of the restrictions in movement imposed by rail mounted or horse drawn vehicles. The combined effects of the freedom of movement offered by motor transportation and the population shift from rural to urban areas have caused urban areas veritably to "explode". This trand began after WorldWar I and has rapidly accelerated since World War II. Today our urban areas have, for better or worse, assumed a new, dispersed form, geared to motor vehicle transportation.
