RESOLUTION TO AMEND NATIONAL TRAFFIC CODE TO REFLECT


TODAY'S PRIORITIES

WHEREAS, The national US transportation code was basically


written in 1944-48, and reflects the national priorities of that time;
WHEREAS, The national traffic code is designed to speed cars
along, at the expense of those persons who are not in cars;
WHEREAS, The code is the reason transportation engineers
routinely give for denying requests for stop lights, stop signs, crosswalks,
and lower speed limits; and
WHERAS, National priorities have changed: we now need to cut
motor vehicle emissions of greenhouse gases and poisons, conserve fuel,
and persuade people to walk and bicycle instead of driving motor
vehicles; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the national traffic code be emended to reflect
the national change in priorities;
RESOLVED, That the national highway speed limit be reduced to
55 miles per hour;
RESOLVED, That existing roads and bridges be repaired before
new ones are built, and accommodation for pedestrians and bicyclists
added during repairs;
RESOLVED, That bridges and roads unable to carry motor traffic
be reused, when feasible, for limited pedestrian and bicycle traffic.
