Reminds me of a Sci-fi story from my youth - The Roads Must Roll. imagine not two of these going in opposite directions but 20 to 30, each consecutive one going 5 or 6 km/h faster than the previous one - the 'inside' ones you are doing freeway speeds - standing still!

Eliminated the need for cars and car crashes.

and then one 'lane' stopped moving - suddenly!

Momentum is not a thing to ever be be taken lightly :-\

:-)

was a 'short' story - probably in an anthology and if memory serves it was by Philip K Dick?? Vintage: 50's to 60's.

or it could of, in fact, been by one of my fave Author's Robert Heinlein in 1940!! :-) Here's a link: http://www.technovelgy.com/ct/content.asp?Bnum=306
