Unfinished Business on Florida's Highways
Florida faces a high motor accident death rate per mile driven as a three year federal state study finds only about 1,200 of 6,489 state maintained miles are adequate for current traffic. Walter M. Parker notes funds diverted from roads since gas tax and vehicle fees. If spent on highways, $60 million could have built 1,600 miles of safe, modern routes.
