Over the centuries, land travel has evolved from foot to wheel to self-propelled vehicle. With each advance in mode, there has ensued a dramatic revolution in distance, time, and travel pattern. Within memory there was a period of relatively little travel as compared to the motor vehicle age. Man lived a quiet life in the neighborhood of his birth,
