The paper surveyed the fundamental contributions that comprehensive roadside planning and land-use regulation can make in promoting highway safety, aesthetics, and the preservation of highway carrying capacity. It has also reviewed the status of planning and land-use control in West Virginia and offered some proposals to further highway objectives through the police powers. Since economic growth typically transcends city boundaries and the limits of urban counties, land-use regulation must be extended in like manner if it is to protect public health, welfare and the highway system. Thus, comprehensive roadside planning and land-use control is a necessity, not a luxury, if rational development and highway protection are to be obtained.
