Abstract
This essay examines efforts by highway engineers and others in the United States to promote the movement of American-style highway and traffic engineering to Europeâspecifically Norway and Swedenâin the years after World War II. After examining the general context that added impetus to this transfer program, the essay focuses on three key actors in the U.S. that assisted in the diffusion of American approaches to traffic engineering: highway engineers at the federal government's Bureau of Public Roads, experts at Yale University's Bureau of Street Traffic Research, and members of the International Road Federation. The success of these transfer activities was enhanced significantly by European eagerness to encourage diffusion, as the three accompanying articles in this issue of CTTS demonstrate.
