"The Catalan capital’s radical new strategy will restrict traffic to a number of big roads, drastically reducing pollution and turning secondary streets into ‘citizen spaces’ for culture, leisure and the community. Black routes allow public transport and cars at 50km/h, while green routes only allow private vehicles at 10km/h to prioritize pedestrians and cycling."

At its fullest extent the Pan-American Highway is a network of roads stretching from Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, to Ushuaia, Argentina, a distance of around 30,000 kilometres (19,000 miles).

Wow,yet another feature in our country that I never knew about, I'm finding the increasing amount of things I never even heard of right in our own backyard troubling (although if it lies on the education system or just my own flat out ignorance I have not decided yet). It is interesting that so many people turn to these things as challenges to beat and overcome where most would most likely view it as just another long road for transportation.

I couldn’t imagine the sites that you would see traveling the road between two different continents in over 14 countries. 30,000 miles, official and unofficial road with a stretch of road that is uninhabited and another stretch that has no real roads. I for one would love the beautiful sites that you would see but I would hate the actual traveling, driving that many miles would drive me crazy. one thing that I wonder is if you would actually be able to do it without any problems within each country. The article also does not say How people made it across the Darian gap. The top of one continent to the bottom of another is just amazing.

This sounds like it would be the best idea for a road trip. The question is whether you are making the trip because you can say you did or to see as much as possible. I prefer the latter so given the number of breaks needed in between to be able to get up, stretch, and see some interesting sites on the road, I would need to take a lot of time off, but it would definitely be worth it. All the different cultures and people you would meet as you pass over the border of fourteen different countries. Goes to show that we are more connected than we believe, literally. |
