clean of dirt, mud, and salt. Don't Pull out in Front of Traffic in Conditions of Poor Visibility or Poor Traction Poor visibility includes fog, smoke, dust, and darkness.

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].

The estimated travel speed from the accident records were compared to the speeds measured…

more congestion and traffic on the highways and alternative roads. The population in Texas keeps growing and growing. This is due to a lot of job opportunities that the states offers. But this also brings the issue that most of the jobs are in the urban area, downtowns. This causes the congestion for traffic on the main freeways for instance 59, I10, 610, 45 and Katy.
