RAIL VERSUS ROADS
"This truckers atlas roads the ways
The freeways and highways don't know
The buzz from the bird on my dash
Road locomotive phone
I don't feel - and I feel great
I sold my atlas by the freight stairs
I do lines and I crossed roads
I crossed the lines of all the great state roads"
Caution: Swear Words

"A CR analysis of industry data shows that the hood height of passenger trucks has increased by an average of at least 11
percent since 2000 and that new pickups grew 24 percent heavier on average from 2000 to 2018. On some heavy-duty trucks, such
as the Ford F-250, the front edge of the hood is now 55 inches or more off the ground—as tall as the roof of some sedans.
New CR data shows that drivers have poorer front sight lines, creating a blind spot that can hide a pedestrian or smaller
car right in front. 'These trends are alarming,' says William Wallace, CR's manager of safety policy. 'Automakers must put
safety first for people inside and outside the vehicle.'
More than 42,000 people were killed and 4.8 million seriously injured on U.S. roadways last year, an 8 percent increase
from the year before, despite a decrease in miles traveled. Pedestrian fatalities rose 46 percent over the past decade,
according to the Governors Highway Safety Association, and the deaths reflect societal inequities. Low-income people
are more likely to be struck; elderly pedestrians and wheelchair users are at higher risk of mortality when hit by a vehicle;
and Black, Hispanic, and Indigenous people are overrepresented in pedestrian crash fatalities."
