Actually, I-81 is so often congested with trucks that it's usually hard to build up speed. I'm not sure extra enforcement will make a lot of difference there. More offensive is the continuing failure of the Legislature to up the rural Interstate speed limit to 70 (and allow speed limit increases on some urban freeways, too). The latest proposal, I understand, died in a tie vote in a House of Delegates committee. -- Oscar Voss, Arlington, Virginia, ovoss@erols.com -- My photo tour of Alaska's Dalton Highway: http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/Lobby/3175/corr24a.htm Recent photos from Nevada's Extraterrestrial Highway: http://members.tripod.com/~andy75/nev375-1.htm
