WALKS AND DRIVES

which is planned to conform with the turn made by the car in backing 

 out (Fig. 21 A) ; and by a turn around in which the car is backed out 

 in the same manner, but in which case it is a little easier to go forward 

 (Fig. 21 B).

Often when the area in which to back out the car is limited, a 

 scheme for backing more than once would be advisable. (Fig. 22). A 

 scheme like (Fig. 22 B) would meet the requirements when a turn 

 around is demanded; a part of the circle thus acting as a spur to back 

 out in when leaving the garage. 



Many car drivers, who own small city places do not consider it a 

 hardship to back from the garage to the street rather than give over the 

 area required for a turn around, or backing space. 



Often upon the modern place, especially if the house is some dis- 

 tance from the street, the driveway is used as a walk for pedestrians. 

 Where the traffic is more or less divided the driveway is often used by 

 the pedestrian for entering from one side of the property while a path 

 is used for entering from the other. (Fig. 23). 



If the entire place were left in lawn for a season the lines of 

 travel made across the lawn would give us a broad general hint as to 

 where our walks should be located. Where a path is seen cutting 

 across a lawn, it is in many cases certain, that there was an error in 

 judgment when the disposition of the walks and drives was determined. 

 Thus it will be seen that it is necessary to anticipate where the travel 

 would naturally come and plan as near as possible to the natural 

 demands as the details incident to a good design will permit.
