Our philosophy is that we want to keep our roads clean and safe, and to do that we want to encourage people to have a safe location where they can mourn.

Our roadways are not designed for that kind of speed, ... Our roads are engineered for the purpose of 55 to 65 mph. Only racetracks are engineered and banked for that kind of speed.

Our roads and streets are getting less safe. A lot of it's due to reckless driving, and we should be reversing that trend by having stricter enforcement.

Our target is businesses in Hampton Roads that are growing and expanding that are looking to enter a new market through satellite locations. Our campaign up there is geared to helping to identify those companies that would be interested in increasing market share.

Retailers (now) want to be very visible from the roads they don't want (their customers) to have to traverse the mall to get there.

recognized that Utah and Nevada should be united against the arrogance of the East Coast dumping its waste on the West.

Some people believe that if the helicopters stop tomorrow, we will just continue the deliveries by truck, this may not be practical in all instances. The road situation is just too dangerous and roads are often blocked.

That came from the need in Europe, when they started building ring roads around Milan, Paris and London.

My start position gave me an advantage over Marcus this morning because the roads were cleaner. The altitude sapped engine power and that made it tricky in corners because there wasn't the same power available as normal to pull the car through the bends. I was surprised how rough it was and I hit a lot of stones. The brakes worked well but they were on the limit in this heat. The thinner air meant they didn't cool in the same way as they would elsewhere.

Mark this well, the laws of economics are the last thing the roads booster is thinking about

Marshall Road is one of the most highly-traveled roads in the township, ... The situation there is deplorable ... bumper-to-bumper traffic every morning and evening. Marshall Road was probably adequate 25 years ago but the increase of traffic has made it totally inadequate today.

I still think it's a relatively fertile investing environment. There are better roads ahead and the market is generally going to try to consolidate and deal with a slowing economy.

It hasn't always been easy. We've had bumps in the roads both years. We've won some games we weren't supposed to win, and we've lost some games we were supposed to win.

While we were driving on the dam GPS told us to turn left. Had we done that, we would have killed ourselves. But GPS is fun. You can keep track of the roads you take. When you are in the city, it is usually very accurate. It can tell you when to turn left or right.

We're certainly not anywhere near to experiencing what the people to the east and to the west of us are. I think that's largely due to the fact that Big Bend is isolated geographically from most of Texas and Mexico as well.

As on roads, this doesn't always work.

With the growth in this area, it's hard to tell anyone that traffic congestion will go away. I'm not sure if we can build roads fast enough.

We're not too bad out here any more, ... Our main roads held up really well and the very last of the evacuees were home this morning.

We are dedicated to making our roads safer for everyone, that's why we've had this program for 19 years now.

We have like a fourth the number of miners as we used to have, and the equipment is doing a lot of the work.

Are the schools decent? Are the roads decent? Do you have, is there decent recreation? West Virginia has those things, now.

We're doing the official county road map and this is the second phase. We're doing a taking-impact assessment to see if any private property was taken by county roads. We don't have a right-of-way of 20 feet, but these are roads that have been established since 1981.

What we tell our maintenance crews who patrol the roads is that if it's reasonable and is not a distraction, they should let it stand.

We're trying to let our people know not to drive through flood areas. The roads just may not be there.

We will continue to work with the Legislature and the industry to determine whether new procedures are needed to keep our roads safe.

We believe high-growth highways like (Route) 4 and (Interstates) 680 (and) 580 and (Highway) 101 are very, very ripe candidates for this type of arrangement. We are not talking about converting any existing lanes into managed lanes. It would all be new. Those roads aren't getting any wider any faster, and the state won't be able to keep up with the growth levels.

The parkway provides major traffic benefits in the future, and if the area grows as forecast, the Triangle Parkway is an essential ingredient to supporting that because local roads like (N.C. Highways) 54 and 55 would be overloaded big time.

Each day, the festival gives us an opportunity to have a positive and lasting impact on the cities that have opened their roads to this race.

When we talk about preparedness ... we ask people to put together preparedness kits to plan for 72 hours to be without water and food.

We have had commodities throughout the state that are moving into affected areas.

We had staff out to check the roads and as the snow started to fall, it was a little slick. So, we thought it best if we had a little daylight on our side, it would buy us time as it warmed up a bit.
