What is exiting and re entering a congested highway to pass the vehicles ahead?
Exiting and re-entering a congested highway to pass vehicles ahead is often referred to as "weaving." This maneuver involves leaving the highway at an exit ramp and then quickly returning to the highway to bypass slower traffic. While it may seem like a way to gain speed, it can be dangerous and is generally discouraged, as it increases the risk of collisions and disrupts traffic flow. Additionally, it may lead to legal repercussions if deemed reckless driving.
How the longitudinal section is used to design highway?
The longitudinal section is crucial in highway design as it provides a detailed profile of the road's vertical alignment, showing changes in elevation along the route. This section helps engineers analyze gradients, slopes, and sight distances, ensuring safe and efficient vehicle operation. Additionally, it aids in drainage planning and identifies potential issues related to erosion and stability. By integrating these elements, the longitudinal section informs the overall design and enhances the highway's safety and functionality.
Are the highway men still alive?
It depends which "highway men" you mean. If you mean the Country music supergroup called The Highway Men who were all stars in their own right, not all of them are still alive. They were comprised of Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson, Johnny Cash, and Waylon Jennings. Johnny Cash died around 2006 of diabetic complications. The name came from the Jimmy Webb song that the 4 did together. Highwayman was about a dream involving reincarnation. In Webb's dream, he was a highwayman, a sailor, a construction worker on the Hoover Dam, and a starship captain. Each of the 4 stars took on one of the roles in their version of the song.
If you mean the original highway men who were land-based pirates or outlaws, then they pretty much don't exist, since nobody uses stagecoaches anymore, and train heists are very rare. In their place are carjackers and aircraft hijackers.

What kind of radar used by Kansas highway patrol?
I have wondered this myself. I have a Passport 8500 x50 and have driven right by a patrol car with the guy shooting his radar and my detector doesn't register anything. It seems to register when cops are shooting K, Ka, and Laser in other places.
Unless they're not shooting at all and just looking like it? But that seems weird.
What are the fundamental principles of route selection and highway location?
The fundamental principles of route selection and highway location include considering factors such as topography, soil conditions, environmental impacts, community needs, and cost-efficiency. It is important to assess the feasibility of the route in terms of construction, maintenance, safety, and future traffic demands. Collaboration with stakeholders and conducting thorough surveys and studies are essential in making informed decisions in route selection and highway location.

How often do highway car crashes occur?
They happen everyday. About 115 people die each day because of them
Alternate Answer: I would start with the number of car crashes for a specific year, which is about 6 million each year. Then I would compare that to the number of seconds in that year, which is about 31 million. If we divide 31 by 6 we get a car crash about every 5 seconds.
Why there is no streetlights on highways?
Because the State does not have funding for street lights for highways that are connecting cities in California.
If you look at pictures of I-10, Hwy 59 in Houston,Texas you will see how many street lights there are because Texas is a lot richer.
