increase of the speed limit in the state of Michigan going from 70 to 80 MPH or in some cases going from 55 to 80 MPH has brought up discussions which experts say increasing the speed limit will only cause more accidents. Reporter Roop Raj uses a policy statement to argue that the speed limit should not be increased to 80 MPH. Allowing the speed limit to increase to 80 MPH will only make drivers speed more.

Abstract High speed rail (HSR) is a rapidly expanding new transport mode all over the world and is often described as the “transport mode of the future”. This paper discusses definitions of high speed rail, provides an overview of high speed rail development in selected other countries and regions. It then analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of HSR in several different aspects, such as mobility, choice, environmental, safety, cost and regional feasibility. Based on the opportunities presented

faster, safer vehicles (Managing Speed). Roads have improved from dirt and gravel to asphalt and concrete, and the number of vehicles on the road has increased exponentially. The motor vehicle has become the backbone of today’s society.

and upgrading sewer-water facilities. Though these effects are specific to foreign rail systems, conclusions can be drawn about potential effects of the high-speed rail development on California because cities such as Los Angeles, San Francisco, Anaheim, Bakersfield, and Fresno mimic many of the cities specifically along the Japanese high-speed rail. If completed, the CAHSR would create many economic opportunities for both the residents of the Central Valley and businesses looking to relocate in order

| SPEED DETECTION USING DOPPLER EFFECT AND RADAR | | | INTRODUCTION Although there is good road safety performance the number of people killed and injured on our roads remain unacceptably high. So the roads safety strategy was published or introduced to support the new casualty reduction targets. The road safety strategy includes all forms of invention based on the engineering, education and enforcement and recognizes that there are many different factors that lead to traffic
