WHATS GOING ON

THE TRAFFIC SECTION OF THE WISCONSIN DIVISION OF HIGHWAYS RECENTLY COMPLETED AN IN-DEPTH STUDY TO FIND OUT HOW LONG MOTORISTS WITH CAR TROUBLE HAVE TO WAIT FOR ASSISTANCE. THE AVERAGE WAITING TIME, THEY DISCOVERED, IS 19 MINUTES. THE STUDY WAS MADE BY TRAFFIC ENGINEERS WHO RODE WITH THE STATE PATROL AT SELECTED TIMES AND LOCATIONS ON THE INTERSTATE AND REVIEWED DAILY TRIP ACTIVITIES FILED BY THE TROOPERS. THEY CONCLUDED THAT THE STATE PATROL DOES SUCH A GOOD JOB OF PATROLLING THE INTERSTATE THAT NO MECHANICAL AIDS TO LOCATE DISABLED CARS ARE NEEDED AT THIS TIME. /BR/
