As America's infrastructure continues to evolve, the development of new interstates plays a crucial role in enhancing connectivity, boosting economic growth, and improving transportation efficiency across the nation. These new interstate projects are designed to address traffic congestion, support population growth, and facilitate trade and travel. In this article, we will explore some of the key areas where new interstates are being built in America and what these developments mean for residents and travelers alike.

New Software Uses AI to Identify the Most Hazardous City Intersections
City traffic intersections can be challenging and dangerous for drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists alike. Identifying high-risk intersections is crucial for improving road safety and reducing accidents. In a groundbreaking development, new software leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing the way cities pinpoint their most hazardous intersections. By analyzing vast amounts of traffic data, this cutting-edge technology is helping authorities take proactive measures to enhance road safety and save lives.

Did Edison Workers Cause The Deadly 10 Freeway Bus Accident?
Of course the "Drive By Media" does not report that So Cal Edison & CHP might be partly to blame for the deadly bus accident. It was dark when the crash happened at 5:15 am. The semi was going only about 5 mph in the second-from-right westbound lane; traffic had slowed because of a traffic break a mile or two ahead to allow Southern California Edison workers to pull wires across the 10 freeway.
"An Edison maintenance crew had slowed down traffic on Interstate 10 before the vehicles crashed just north of the desert resort town of Palm Springs, California Highway Patrol Border Division Chief Jim Abele said. The work had gone on for hours without problems, he said. CHP officers had been slowing traffic to allow Southern California Edison workers to string wires across the freeway, Abele said."

Did the California Highway Patrol give proper warning to drivers westbound?
Did So Cal Edison properly warn drivers that they were stopping traffic miles ahead?
Were there warning signs placed on the freeway miles back to warn of the potential slow down?
I am curious if Waze was warning drivers at the time of the slow down on their app at 5am?
Seems to me that this could have been prevented and not a lot is being reported on the topic.
Why Have Highway & Railroad Crossing Accidents Been Increasing?
Here is a breakdown of the highway and railroad crossing incidents by railroad operators from 2012-2015. Here is the source of the info from the Federal Railroad Administration.
Dangerous Redondo Beach Pedestrian PCH Intersection
PCH and Vincent Needs A Crosswalk Upgrade
Pacific Coast Highway and Vincent Street in Redondo Beach is apparently a problem according to this fatal accident back in 2014. Redondo Beach Union High School is across the street and can imagine there is a lot of student and kids crossing the street on a daily basis. I almost experienced an issue last night. I could hardly see an older woman crossing the street. See our Dangerous Intersections map of other problematic intersections in the area.
