AS a traveler for over 30 years, I have witnessed significant improvements in travel infrastructures and experiences in the last two decades. Traveling was not easy before. You had to rely on travel books and maps to learn more about your destinations. Hotel bookings were made through telephone calls, and down payments were made via bank transfers. Driving to your destination was quite a hassle. Many roads were narrow and often congested with traffic. Expressways were limited, and finding restrooms and meal stops was always a challenge.

There are many things we now enjoy when traveling that did not exist 20 years ago. To celebrate Fast Times 15th Anniversary, here are 15 of those improvements that make road travels nowadays more fun:
