The California High Speed Railroad should not be built because of the rising money. The money needed for the project is continuously rising. The amount of money approved by the citizens was $9.95 billion. However, it rose to $13.5 billion. Then, it increased to $48.6 billion. The money kept rising from millions and billions! The “final” cost to build a high-speed rail line between San Francisco and Los Angeles by 2028 is predicted to be to a grand total of about $67.6 billion. It is claimed that…

The supersonic train, dubbed Hyperloop One, is Elon Musk’s own input on how to solve one of the many inconveniences of everyday life: traffic and congestion. This train would travel in a separate tubes at record breaking speeds in hope to make driving to around more bearable. However, with new technology comes new questions, and stakeholders are wondering, for the most part, is it too good to be true? And other questions of safety and if this new technology will actually make a difference and…

Will a High Speed Railway System Be Good for California’s Economy? Imagine living in San Francisco yet working in Los Angeles. It is hard to imagine due to the limited transportation options like airfare or driving. Picture a family from Germany flying in to LAX, and they would want to see the Golden Gate Bridge in Northern California. Now consider the fact that it is possible doing that approximately in just two hours and thirty minutes. California has a great opportunity to develop this…

Specific Purpose: To inform my audience about the impact of Transcontinental Railroad that it had on people living in those regions. Central Idea/Thesis Statement: The Transcontinental Railroad allowed many communities to flourish, it allowed people to travel more easily but it also ended up resettling much of the population. INTRODUCTION I. Today if anybody decided to travel they would either do it with a car or plane but once upon time the train was the most reliable option. II. The…

California High Speed Railroad is a railroad managed by the HRSA (The California High Speed Railroad Authority.) Its purpose is to connect the mega regions of California. Sounds like a good plan? Well, there are some negative reasons why this railroad should not be built. The railroad should not be built for the following reasons: There is Still No Legitimate Funding Plan; the Costs Look Like nothing what the Voters Approved, and Shrinking Ridership Numbers. The California High Speed…

The Decline of General Aviation Airports The Rise of General Aviation In the early days of aviation, aviators were limited to flying during daylight hours, in near ideal weather conditions. Early pilots were not regulated as they are today, and would take off and land their aircraft in any flat open area, often a farmer’s grassy field, which allowed them to choose their direction relative to the prevailing winds. As aviation grew, pilots began to congregate in common areas, which allowed for…

speeders/neighborhood that does not even care? Drivers should be aware of speed limit in different areas/places and what consequences of crossing the constraints areas, because it puts our citizens’ fear for children, pedestrian and bicyclist safety. Here are some issues that need to look…

Everyone speeds, or at the very least has driven faster than the posted speed limit sign. Some may argue that the speed limits should remain the way they are, however, the article “Speed Doesn’t Kill” shows readers logos, ethos, and pathos by providing simple statistical information from several resources along with person insight to argue that speed limits should be reasonably increased. The author, Matthew L. Herbert, argues that the majority of people don’t get in car crashes from someone…

spillover effects due to the increase in speed but the creativity to try hypothesis tests deserve special mention. “Speed spillover” effect is present when the speed limit is different in different roads. The spillover effect is evident when the drivers may continue to drive fast in roads where the speed limit is not increased Steven M. Rock [18] studied the effect of 65 mph speed in Illinois and also support the general notion that increase in speed limit to 65 mph increased the crash…

OF SPEED ON CRASHES 4.1 Speed variance vs crashes Solomon (1964) describe the effect of speed vs crashes as a U shaped curve [9]. Solomon obtained the estimated speed of the vehicles suffered the crashes by tracing the police reports. The author compiled a “modus speed” which implies a safe speed for that particular stretch of road by driving with the traffic flow [45]. Solomon created a crash proportion per speed category, a comparison ratio using the crash vehicle speeds and the modus speed…
