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.

now are directly attributable to its own negligence
and refusal to implement Congress' safety mandates,
and it's only going to get worse!
