The governor believes that private toll roads will be important to the state in the coming years, and it is critical that such options be available to the future.

We all travel the roads around here. We all have been frustrated by traffic problems. If you have a regular commute, then you deal with them every day and you know what they are. Now we want to hear from our residents and start taking action.

The public has rightfully questioned the logic of building new roads when the forest service is inadequately funded to maintain its existing road system.

There is some risk in focusing too intently on the characteristics of individual bridges and in doing so overlooking the larger context. Vermont's extraordinary villages and countryside create that context, a colorful blending of natural and cultural resources. A great many of Vermont's bridges, even those that can be called ordinary by engineering standards, are distinctive pieces of this varied but fragile landscape. Many contribute to vistas along important river corridors; others frame entrances to village centers or physically and visually join urban neighborhoods; still others define form and space in unusual ways; some simply mark places for travelers to pause on winding roads that disappear among the hills." ()

We had to eliminate all state roads from our choices of where to put the cameras because it's not allowed. We will collect data, send out warnings to drivers and hopefully convince them to drive more carefully.

What we are seeing is a safari operation ongoing by Serb security forces against Kosovo Albanians. First, there is a pattern of shelling into the hills, beating them out of the bush if you like.

Then they are put into trains and sent to borders but sometimes when they arrive they are sent back again.

We've ran for our lives countless times because trucks and cars have slid sideways on icy roads at a wreck we're working.

We simply must start making our roads safer for Oklahomans to travel.

Things such as paved shoulders and median barriers are the types of road-design elements we need to implement more of across our state.

We try to avoid disruptions during the summer months. Between Easter and Labor Day, we try not to dig up the roads and cause traffic problems.

The public ultimately decides on a level of investment that should go into roads and bridges. We're saying that, with the current levels of investment, here's the transportation system you have. It's up to the people of Michigan how they want to respond.

And we went to their work sites to confirm what they told us in the survey. We took engineering-grade measurements of the loads hauled, the roads traveled and the conditions encountered, all to ensure we would deliver a truck capable of 200,000 miles of use.

Drivers pulled over on Travis County roads this week could be pleasantly surprised to find out they were targeted for driving well. If somebody does something illegal, we probably won't give them the baseball tickets.

Exceptional performances from everyone on the team. Considering the terrain -- serious elevation drops and rises, trails and dusty dirt country roads in complete darkness other than the flashlight the runner carries -- for a team from Florida to do this well is terrific.

There's probably going to be about $100 million spent to buy the property ... for all the roads and everything that goes into that. Guess who has to pay for that? It's going to be us, the taxpayers. We're going to pay that money.

There's so much negative information in the media. If the building of bridges and roads and schools and power plants was portrayed in the media, it would make a huge difference. We need to stand by our men and women so they can keep their morale up.

There's no reason for people to be on township roads when we're in a state of emergency unless they live out there.

There's not a lot of salt and sand on the roads. (Salting) builds up a residue so that come February, there will be lots of salt. Right now the roads have been cleaned with rain and sweeping, so that's a very important component,

The roads just break apart through the years. It was around 18 years ago Country Road was paved. The life span for a road is 10 years, so we are past due.

The roads have reopened, but traffic is backed up to Virginia on the Inner Loop and on the Outer Loop I don't know how far back. That goes into PG County.

The roads around the ground are diabolical. I came in a car that was sliding all over the road and there were cars sliding into one another.

The roads are treacherous not only for the people who are trying to get back and forth from their homes but also for the emergency personnel, ...

The roads are soft and there is no advantage in running further down the start order. They are not cleaning like we thought they would. I'm driving at a steady pace, which was the plan.

The roads are pretty tough. It's a job that you've been blessed that you love doing, but it's hard work.

There would need to be some major work on that corner down there, ... The roads are not wide at all.

I've seen some collateral damage out there -- trees coming down and taking out fences, roads washing out. It probably increases erosion, but you just kind of weather it, so to speak." ()

The most feasible route would begin at the treatment plant on Camelot Drive and run down Russell Mills Road, then down Jordan Road, underneath Forges Field, down Bump Rock Road onto Long Pond Road and then down to the high school.

It seems nutty to sell or exchange waterfront property, because the land would become a magnet for development. If you turn 1,000 acres into subdivisions, the generation of a need for more roads and schools would outstrip any benefit of raising this revenue.
