on the upper left of the screenshot you see some small roads disappearing into a forested area, and that is quite normal. it is a thin narrow road.

if however you look at the lower right hand part of that picture you see much wider roads, in fact the widest road of the whole picture, and it still completely gets engulfed by trees when it enters the forest, that is what i was referring to

I don't think you understood what I was saying at all. I am arguing that a wide road in 1940 is as narrow as a country lane of today. Automobiles weren't dominant back then. You seem to be assuming that a road of today is the same width as a road of yesteryear. I (correct me if I am wrong here) am thinking that you are assuming that a highway of today is equivalent to a major thorough fair of 1940, and this simply is not true. The major arteries of traffic we have now are close to 10x the width of high traffic country roads of 70 years ago.
