Cover: Figure from Boris Pushkarev’s “Esthetic Criteria in Freeway Design” (Proceedings of the Highway Research Board 41 [1962]: 91) depicts the visual “kink” produced by a tangent and curve (top) and the softening effect of a spiral transition curve (below). Reproduced by permission of the Transportation Research Board, Washington, D.C. See Louis Ward Kemp, “Aesthetes and Engineers: The Occupational Ideology of Highway Design,” pp. 759-797.
