CONTINUING PROJECT ON LEGAL PROBLEMS ARISING OUT OF HIGHWAY PROGRAMS

The National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Project 20-6 was established to meet a continuing need for analysis and evaluation of operating practices and legal issues associated with highway projects. The project also compares individual state practices for possible national application. As part of this project, the Transportation Research Board introduced "Selected Studies in Highway Law" (SSHL) which covers many branches of the law including contracts, torts, eminent domain, evidence, and taxation. SSHL fills a void in American legal literature by furnishing a rerference that is directly and exclusively concerned with highway law. SSHL provides a compilation of cases dealing with highways and is a clearinghouse for analysis and discussion of the rules of law annouced therein. This report briefly notes the content of various volumes of SSHL. The report also tabulates NCHRP Research Results Digests emanating from Project 20-6. It also lists topics approved for study as well as Project Committee members.
