What is the cause of most pedestrian injuries and fatalities?

On bridges, you'll usually find metal-edged sections of roadbed - these are expansion joints used to allow for the expansion/contraction of the roadway in hot and cold weather. Most of these are transverse to the direction of travel, but you'll sometimes find longitudinal joints, or angled ones where sections of roadbed merge.

Isn't it odd that check cashing businesses have a sign on their doors 'no cash o premises?


On concrete roadways, you'll usually find breaks between sections of roadbed that are sealed with asphalt/tar - another form of expansion joint. I'm not familiar with any other form of metal/expansion joint as part of a road.

Which way does a cement mixer rotate in England?

Has anyone ever had the same problem?

They have metal plates like you are talking about real close to a state scale for trucks, it is weigh in motion to determine if the truck is heavy enough to be weighed on a big scale. usualy if a truck is empty or has a load of say emty plastic jugs he does not weigh enough to mess with so he gets the bypass.

Can drowsy drivers be as dangerous to the road as drunk drivers?

Saeuta no matter how much re-bar you use to reinforce concrete it is still going to crack. This usually happens when continents are constantly shifting as it does on planet Earth. 10-4 And as for those metal stripes I have no idea what you are talking about.
