A good coverage of all numbered highways in the Province is presented. The data obtained has been compiled as Average Daily Traffic Volumes for July-August period of the year except for a few locations where the month is noted under the count.

Each count is identified by a station number, the first part of which indicates the Highways District (as established Jan. 8, 1969) in which the count was obtained, the second part identified it from other stations in the District, and the third part identified the highway number.

    By the Road: Fordism, Automobility, and Landscape Experience in the British Columbia Interior, 1920-1970 by Ben Bradley A thesis submitted to the Department of History in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada December 2012 © Copyright by Ben Bradley, 2012 By the Road: Fordism, Automobility, and Landscape Experience in the British Columbia Interior, 1920-1970 Ben Bradley Abstract This dissertation examines how popular experiences of nature and history in the British Columbia Interior were structured by automobility – the system of objects, spaces, images, and practices that surrounded private automobiles and public roads. The Fordist state poured massive resources into the provincial road network during the period 1920 to 1970, and in the process created new possibilities for leisure and for profit. Motoring was a new, very modern way of experiencing BC, and also an important economic engine. Making the province’s highways and the landscapes that were visible alongside them look appealing to the motoring public became a matter of concern for many different parties. Boosters, businesses, and tourism promoters who stood to benefit from increased automobile travel often cultivated roadside attractions and lobbied the state to do the same. Starting in the early 1940s, the provincial government established numerous parks along the Interior highway network: the two examined here are Manning and Hamber parks. Beginning in the late 1950s it did the same with historical

    Manning Park and the Aesthetics of Automobile Accessibility in 1950S British Columbia

    Behind the Scenery: Manning Park and the Aesthetics of Automobile Accessibility in 1950s British Columbia B EN B RADLEY * he automobile, or, more precisely, automobility – the constel- lation of spaces, objects, practices, discourses, and habits that surround the ubiquitous vehicle and the paths along which it travels – has been central to the popular experience and cultural meaning T 1920 1 of parks in North America since the s. However, while the spread of “car culture” is often presented as monolithic and homogenizing, it was in fact uneven and variegated, producing distinct regional histories of automobility and distinct regional relations between driving, the environment, and landscape experience. This was particularly true in British Columbia, where the development of a cohesive inter-regional road network occurred two decades later than in most other western 2 provinces and states. As a result, British Columbia’s provincial parks * The author acknowledges financial support from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council and thanks Jan Hadlaw, Jay Young, Jenn Bonnell, Jim Clifford, the other contributors to this theme issue, and the journal’s anonymous reviewers for providing feedback on earlier drafts. 1 On automobility as a non-linear system, see John Urry, “The System of Automobility,”Theory, Culture, and Society 21, 4-5 (2004): 25-40; Henri Lefebvre, Everyday Life in the Modern World (New York: Harper Torchbook, 1971), 98-104.

    Glacier National Park

    NATIONAL FOREWORD The National Parks of Canada are areas of natural beauty and special interest that have been "dedicated to the people PARKS of Canada for their benefit, education, and enjoyment". Established primarily for the preservation of the unspoiled natural landscape and for the protection of the native wildlife, they are to be "maintained and made use of so as to leave them unimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations". The discovery of hot mineral springs, bubbling from the . BRITISH»* slopes of Sulphur Mountain, by engineers exploring the route for Canada's first transcontinental railway, led to the establish­ ment of Canada's first national park. From this small area of ten square miles at Banff, Alberta, set apart in 1885, the national parks system has been extended until it embraces 29 separate areas totalling more than 29,000 square miles. C 0m ADA Although a few parks have been devoted chiefly to the con­ servation of certain species of big game animals once threatened with extinction, some contain sites memorable in the early history of Canada. Others have been developed so that park visitors may more conveniently view the magnificent scenery and relax in the enjoyment of the inspirational and peaceful environment. From the sea-girt hills on the Atlantic Coast across the rivers and lakes of Central Canada to the alpine vistas of the Rockies and Selkirks, these national .playgrounds provide ideal areas for nature study and for recreation. It is the responsibility of the National Parks Branch of the Department of Northern Affairs and National Resources to administer these natural areas for the enjoyment of Canada's present and future generations.

    1975 to 1978 Summer Traffic Volumes

    PRE F ACE This publication contains a summary of the traffic volumes taken in British Columbia during the years 1975, 1976, 1977 and 1978. A good coverage of all numbered highways in the Province is presented. The data obtained has been compiled as Average Daily Traffic Volumes for the July-August period of each year except for a few locations where the month is noted under the count. A SHORT COUNT OF AT LEAST 24 HOURS DURATION IS COMPARED TO THE COUNT FOR THE SAME PERIOD AT A PERMANENT COUNT STATION AND EXPANDED TO A JULY-AUGUST AVERAGE DAILY TRAFFIC VOLUME. THE ACCURACY OF THESE RESULTS DEPENDS UPON THE LOCATION OF THE PERMANENT COUNT STATION IN RELATION TO THE SHORT COUNT STATION AND THE CORRELATION OF DEFINED TRAFFIC PATTERNS. Section I contains a tabulation of vehicular traffic volumes taken on main highways and feeder roads to those highways throughout the Pro·vince. The tabulation is by numbered routes. Each short count is identified by a station number, the first part of which indicates the Highways District (as established Jan. 8, 1969) in which the count was obtained, the second part identifies it from other stations in the District, and the third part identifies the route number. For example: "21-2-5" is in Kamloops Highways District, count number 2 and on Route Number 5. Note that the Permanent Counter Installations are identified in a different manner. For example: "P-2l-l" means Permanent Counter in Kamloops Highways District and counter number 1. Also please note that the Classified Highway Reference Number, where applicable J refers to the Classified road or highway on which the traffic count station is located.
