I drove that stretch a few weeks ago. I saw nothing unusual or dangerous about it.
Just last week I drive that new road twice to Hoover dam and the new bridge. A large portion of the new road wasn’t on my gps (updated within four months) and the signage was unclear to a tourist like me. We all four in the car were confused.
It is really up to the drivers. If a state issues too many tickets the Federal Highway something or other... Will let the state know that the amount of tickets issued indicates unsafe travel conditions and the Fed will withhold funding. Conversely, if the state doesn’t issue tickets the drivers continue on out of control and get into wreaks which promotes the same action from the Fed.
So, it’s up to the drivers... But most of the drivers are probably too stoopid to rationalize their amount of responsibility. Maybe reckless driving needs a little bit of jail time to help it sink in. Could always bring back the prison Farms and Road gangs.
The reality of the situation is that the FED has overreached into the state’s responsibility. And bureaucratic layering has added cost to federal government operations.
Take all that Highway stuff, put it back on the state level and Lake let the states monitor and control as needed rather than some rubber stamper up in a government bureaucracy telling the states that either they’re issuing too many tickets or they’re having too many Wrecks...
If the states had full control of this funding and full control of safety without the loss of funding that there would be much stiffer penalties and the ACLU feel the need to intervene... It’s a never-ending cycle of BS.
Which brings up the position of tort law reform.
