		The NTSB has provided an analysis that indicates the current signage and setup probably add confusion and are inadequate to prevent the types of fatalities and injuries recently suffered at the checkpoint.
		The Federal Highway Administration, U.S. Customs and Border Patrol, the State of New York, the NTSB, and the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), all have a role and must act quickly.

		This FAQ has been in a constant state of revision since it was first begun in November 1997 and then later publicly unveiled on May 12, 1998 and it is expressly hoped that user input will continue to improve it over time.
		Because even Americans commonly confuse the dividing lines between state and federal jurisdiction over motor vehicles in the USA and are thus confused which government agencies and at what levels will handle the various issues involved in personal importation, the maze that must be navigated is rather daunting.
		First, there is no US state or territory that specifically regulates "scooters", but instead, each at least classifies them as either mopeds or as motorcycles.
