	Still the Road to Nowhere \| ajc.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Abbreviated as it is, the Road to Nowhere has become a psychic bridge between the past and present — between how simple things were and how complicated they've become.
		Road supporters claim that a completed two-lane road through the park would boost tourism by $4 million a year, welcome manna for a county with the state's lowest per capita income.
		Opponents of the road — including environmental groups like the Sierra Club and the Citizens for the Economic Future of Swain County — counter that the highway wouldn't draw a fraction of the tourists that boosters claim.

		The weather was still and grey and cold, and the landscape felt unfinished; the road carved a path through muddy brown earth, and the giant skeleton of the new terminal loomed, half built, to the east.
		When you open a new road in Britain today, it is as well to acknowledge the environmental impact, and the fact that, because traffic seems to increase to fill the space available, road-widening is largely a matter of treading water.
		A thin, stagnant canal, with accompanying towpath, crosses underneath the road; the tunnel is lit by flickering fluorescent lamps.

		Especially these roads, roads that seem to, at least in Ireland, lead to "God knows where", as Raftery (1994, 101) has put it, are of high interest for understanding not only wheeled transport in Iron Age and Early Medieval Ireland, but also travel, trade and communications networks in Iron Age continental Europe.
		That roads with a sufficent width did not only exist within the territory of one specific civitas, but also between the territories of several civitates, thus forming "overland routes", is yet again evident from Caesar's account.
		These connecting side roads must have existed often frequently enough to allow a sufficent number of quick surprise attacks, to really become more than a nuissance to the Roman cavalry, it thus has to be assumed that they were no more than a few kilometers apart.

	Alaska's Road to Nowhere - New York Times
		The whole purpose of the new road was to connect Juneau to the Klondike Highway at Skagway, so that Alaskans who live in the interior would be able to drive to the state capital rather than rely on planes and ferries.
		But now the road is going to stop in the middle of the wilderness, 18 miles south of Skagway.
		The highway's designers promise to fix the problem by building a new ferry terminal at the end of the proposed road and purchasing new boats to haul people and cars from there to the ferry docks in Haines and Skagway, frequently in the summer, less so in the winter.

		The road map - issued by the US president, George Bush, last week - sets out a route to peace that is paved with good intentions and little else.
		Work on the road map began last July with a meeting of the "Quartet" - the United States, the European Union, Russia and the United Nations - though it has been drafted under the direction of William Burns, the assistant US secretary of state.
		In November, Mr Sharon persuaded the White House not to issue the road map just yet, on the grounds that Israeli elections were in the offing.

		And yet a surprising number of those one might expect to be familiar with the road map seem not to know what it says.
		Some reporters noted in passing that the road map doesn't mention prisoners, but others falsely implied that freeing criminals was an obligation the agreement imposes on Israel.
		The language is explicit: The PA must "declare an unequivocal end to violence and terrorism." It must "arrest, disrupt, and restrain individuals and groups conducting and planning violent attacks on Israelis anywhere." Above all, it must carry out the "dismantlement of terrorist capability and infrastructure." These are not goodwill gestures.

		Because no matter what your age, being in a Cortina in the fast lane going nowhere means you took a wrong turn to the depot.

		The miles of beach and road leading up to the gate would be turned over to the county, which would renourish the beach and maintain the road.
		The new road was moved as far north as possible, dropping toward the Gulf only to avoid disrupting heavy vegetation and wetlands areas.
		More than two miles of the seven-mile road must be replaced because rushing water dug 6- to 8-foot holes along the shoulder, caving and cracking the road.

		Among its goals are to obtain official recognition for the villages, to improve living conditions, and to claim full rights and equality for the Arab citizens of the state.
		Non-recognition means that the villagers are not entitled to municipal services like water, electricity, road building, transportation, sanitation, education and health care.
		Road to Nowhere was originally published in Middle East International No. 591; 15 January 1999.

		The citizens of Swain County were promised in the "43 Agreement" by the U.S. Department of the Interior and the Tennessee Valley Authority a road with a dustless surface, not less than twenty feet in width, that would connect Bryson City to Deals Gap, Tennessee.
		The road was the exchange to the people for the land taken on the North Shore and Highway 288 that was submerged due to the construction of the Fontana Dam.
		The road ends at a 1,200 foot tunnel with a hiking trail at the end of the tunnel.

		In the past road safety initiatives focused on children's lack of experience and competence in dealing with traffic, and aspired to teach children the rudiments of dealing with a busy road.
		Indeed, Leeds road safety officers have noticed that the influx of undergraduates in September and October has led to an increase in road accidents.
		The move from educating children about roads towards holding drivers responsible for all accidents has created a generation of young adults who don't know their green cross code (6).

		The land traversed by the northern part of this road, towards Harrison, leads through an area that is rich in Miocene mammal fossils.
		Standing in the middle of the road would have given a more dramatic view and even generated such thoughts as "I hope he kept a watch out for some idiot coming up behind him!" In other words, the viewer of your photograph would have paused, looked and become involved in it.

		The Burma Road was built during WWII to provide a supply link through British-controlled Burma to Chiang Kai-shek's nationalist forces fighting off the Japanese in China.
		The Road, beginning 500 kilometers north of the capital Yangon, today carries both the traffic that is blessed by the generals and that which is overlooked.
		On the Burmese side, the smoothest road in the country ended with lip-service to drug eradication--signs urging, "Let's cooperate in eradication of narcotic drugs." On the Thai side there were plenty of police officers with big guns and huge dogs.

		I still hear And She Was on the radio from time to time, proving its longevity as a quirky, fun track, but for some unexplainable reason, nobody ever seems to play Road to Nowhere anymore.
		Some TH fans might consider this album a musical road to nowhere by this eclectic band, but in my opinion Little Creatures proves that the journey is often times the best part of the trip.
		The highlights are the two brilliant singles 'Road to Nowhere' (their biggest hit) and 'And She Was', and the bouncing, funky 'Stay Up Late' but there are no duff tracks and this is a big, brassy, sunny album which is great to sing along to as you do the housework.

	The Road To Nowhere!
		"The Road To Nowhere", as most local residents call it, is a 6-mile scenic drive into the North Carolina side of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park where it dead-ends.
		It provides spectacular views of Fontana Lake and the Appalachian Mountains and was originally named "Lakeview Drive", but since the road was never completed (as the government promised) residents, who were forced to leave their homes in order for Fontana Dam to be built, gave it the name of "The Road To Nowhere".
		This road was originally to be built to provide the many residents, who gave up their land for the Fontana Dam project, access to their ancestral gravesites.

		With the creation of the Park, their homes were gone, and so was the road to those communities.
		Lakeview Drive was to have stretched along the north shore of Fontana Lake, from Bryson City to Fontana, 30 miles to the west.
		But Lakeview Drive fell victim to an environmental issue and construction was stopped, with the road ending at a tunnel, about six miles into the park.

	Possible 'Road to Nowhere' still debated - Monday, 02/16/04 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		In 1943, when Fontana Dam was being built, federal officials promised residents who had to leave the area that it would build a new road along the north shore of the new lake that was created by the dam.
		The road debate, long simmering, came to the surface again after Rep. Charles Taylor, R-N.C., included $16 million to finish the road in legislation a few years ago.
		Other alternatives would build a portion of the road to a visitors center, or build a 27.4-mile corridor from the Lake View Road tunnel following the lake's northern shore to the dam area.

		Regardless of the road map's ultimate fate, the editors of Arab News opine, Washington's renewed engagement in the conflict is a hopeful sign.

	Guardian Unlimited \| Special reports \| John Vidal: The road to nowhere
		Emissions from power generation, said the authors, are likely to drop by 5.5%, largely because of the investment in wind power, but those from domestic and transport sources are rising steeply, undermining the push to renewables.
		Even as green Labour urges business and consumers to invest in renewables and use less power, grey Labour is quietly engineering some of the greatest expansions seen in road and air transport in decades.
		The responsibility for domestic energy conservation, point out the greens, has been passed to cash-starved local authorities; the government has presided over a 17% increase in road traffic; reduced its support for renewables; and is well short of its target to spend a meagre £20m on solar roofs.

	The Road From Nowhere
		Nowhere in Africa, this year's winner of the Foreign Film Oscar, tells the story of a Jewish family that emigrates from Breslau, Germany, to Kenya in East Africa, immediately prior to World War II.
		Its strength lies in the ability of its characters to grow as people, to connect with and love the land, and to be empowered by the growing harmony between cultures.
		Enhanced by the stark African landscape, the mix of classical music and African percussion, and the rhythm of Kenyan tribal dances and rituals, Nowhere in Africa is, to paraphrase Keats, a thing of beauty and a joy forever.

		The timing of my trip is key, because a 62-year-old dispute is going to be settled in the next year, perhaps allowing a road to be built on the North Shore.
		That's not the case, however, on the Tennessee side of the Smokies, where the towns of Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, abutting the national park, attract millions of visitors with arcades, bumper cars, water slides, jamborees and Dollywood, a theme park named after Dolly Parton.
		If the North Shore road is built, nearby Bryson City, N.C., will become an eastern gateway into the national park.

	The Hindu : Road to nowhere...
		Owing to the roads being blocked all over the city, the tongas, classified as the "slow moving vehicles", are banned and even if they were not banned, it would have been difficult for them to move in the congested roads.
		Catering to all the mundane routine of changing the horseshoes, foraging fodder and tending to frequent limb injuries, is a tedious affair.
		The main cause of tongas going off from Delhi's roads, according to him, are the congested roads.
