One thing we must realize is when we make rules to help in aspects of safety the must not slow the flow of traffic or transportation. Such rules should solve both problems, improve flow and improve safety. We must be careful not to make linear laws, which cause more deaths and injuries on our roads and highways.

For instance when improving the roads there are special markings, reflective paints and surface coatings, which work better in inclement weather such as fog, rain or wind storms. Also available to us are incredible new roadway materials, which reduce road noise, help the tires grip better, stop quicker, repel water and do not ice up as easy. Similar techniques have been learned to prevent ice from forming on bridges.

There are many problems with freeways and toll ways in America. First the toll ways in America are clogging the flow of traffic. With the proper systems in place in major metro areas like the Los Angeles, Houston, Boston, Atlanta, Baltimore we can improve safety and traffic flows. Video cameras on the freeways are just one way to do this and a perfect example is the system in Seattle run by Battelle.

There are also ways protect the people, monitor the flow, prevent International terrorist attack using our roadways and infrastructures against us, while alleviating any impending rush hour grid lock. We must use the latest and greatest technologies to our advantage to improve highway safety and cut down on the 40,000 deaths per year. If we could cut that number in half in the next five years that would be truly a gift to America. Too many lives are cut short from deaths on our highways. In the last two wars in Afghanistan and Iraq we had some losses, but we also liberated two nations. On America's highways we lost 2000% more lives and we have nothing to show for it, we do not need to fill up any more cemeteries with our loved ones. Think about it America.
