A Future Outlook in Transportation

As we travel around in our automobiles day after dry, commuting back and forth to work, performing other daily trips, weekly trips and the occasional vacation trip, we get the feeling that traffic volumes are getting heavier day after day, week after week, month after month, and year after year. This impression is supported by fact. Also, we recognize the unchecked increasing trend in accidents, injuries and fatalities and we are satisfied that corrective measures should be taken, but what? There is nothing yet that has been done which reduces the overall increase in accidents, injuries and fatalities. In the following discussion the author will illustrate the magnitude of these trends, will project these treads into the future, and will illustrate possible results of these growing trends. The author will offer possible alternate solutions and will stress an urgent need for a solution to the problems of highway traffic saturation and highway safety.
