Those flashing police lights on I-10 or I-49 may not be a speed trap—they’re part of a traffic safety tactic designed to prevent wrecks. Here’s how it works (and why it matters).
Louisiana law enforcement officials say two crashes happened in the same area in the span of just a few minutes, leading to a tragedy on an interstate roadway.
If you ask most Americans if the interstate system throughout the United States was built with the regulation that for every 5 miles of winding road there had to be 1 mile of straight highway in order to land a military plane if need be, they will more than likely say "oh yeah, that's true". One historian has something to say to every American about the One Mile in Five claims.
