COMMENT PREFACE
DISCONNECT
BETWEEN THE MANUAL’S INTENT AND PRACTICE
These
proposed change(s) are a very troubling quickening of
the destruction of Congress’ intent as
encompassed in the Highway Safety Act of 1966, when
Congress created, and then charged the FHWA with
“Roadway Safety” oversight on the
nation’s highway infrastructure and traffic
control thereon.

PORTLAND,
Ore., July 8 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Reenacting
the failed
1974 National Maximum Speed Law is not a solution. The solution is to properly
engineer our roadways to facilitate the optimum flow of traffic, a
prescription that would reduce our total vehicular carbon footprint and
improve roadway safety. The future is in educating motorists to drive safely
via safety campaigns that promote keep right except to pass, yielding,
courtesy, and safety practices that are based in fact! Programs that create
jobs, reduce our carbon footprint, pollution, and improve the safety and
efficiency of our infrastructure.

PORTLAND,
Ore., Jan. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- In a time when we struggle
as a nation to reign in terrorism and conduct wars in
Iraq and Afghanistan maybe we should also focus on
threats to our safety here, too. Apathy and kowtowing
to special interests by our own USDOT is responsible
for more deaths and injures each year than all our
enemies combined! Despite its public campaigns that
blame everything on driver behavior, an astonishing
one in four (10,000 plus) of our highway fatalities
now are directly attributable to its own negligence
and refusal to implement Congress' safety mandates,
and it's only going to get worse!
