THOUGH MECHANIZED LITTER PICKUP REMAINS A PROBLEM, MOST STATES ARE DEVELOPING THEIR OWN IDEAS TO DO MANY OTHER HIGHWAY MAINTENANCE JOBS FASTER, BETTER AND CHEAPER, BY USING IMPROVED MOWERS, CHEMICAL GROWTH INHABITORS, NEW LINE MARKING EQUIPMENT, AND MECHANICAL UNITS FOR CLEANING SIGNS AND MARKERS. /AUTHOR/
