		The Federal Highway (official designation: National Highway 23) is a short highway in New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory in Australia.
		From 1985 onwards, the Federal Highway was reconstructed to a full four-lane divided highway standard, a project finally completed in 2002.

		Australia is a federation of States and Territories, and government responsibilities broadly mirror that in the USA.
		Australia is highly urbanized (notwithstanding large tracts of sparsely populated land).
		Australia was particularly innovative in developing the "safe routes to school" program, which integrates education, route selection, and engineering treatments to increase pupil safety.

	Agenda 2003: Transportation: Harnessing the Resources of the Private Sector to Improve Mobility
		Federal aviation operations are funded by 12 separate user fees and taxes (plus four more levied on international flights and passengers), so the decline in passenger traffic since September 2001 has meant reduced revenues.
		The federal highway program should be decentralized by turning back to the states the responsibility to collect, retain, and spend the 18.4 cents per gallon federal fuel tax on their transportation priorities.
		Federal prohibitions on tolls, privatization, and the broad use of infrastructure banks should be eliminated, as should the federal requirements that highway construction and transit operation be operated at union-determined wages and contracts.

	An Australian Road Review
		Australia is a young country with the population of California (about 17 million), and although it is a large country — only slightly smaller than the contiguous 48 states of the United States — most of the people live along the coast.
		Australian state highway departments have the same safety and functional constraints that we do, along with greater fire protection and moving stock concerns.
		Because the construction happened long ago when adjacent land was not developed, often native seed in the soil and adjacent soils reestablished themselves, reflecting preconstruction plant communities.

		However, current and projected federal and state highway spending is not sufficient even to maintain the current asset value of the system, let alone to cope with needed capacity expansion over the next two decades.
		Each successive federal surface transportation bill has further expanded the fraction of the federal highway trust fund that can be diverted to non-highway purposes.
		Under current federal tax policies, private firms may issue tax-exempt bonds to finance infrastructure projects for airports and seaports—but not for highways.

	Highway funding ideas include taxes on hybrids
		The next highway bill is years away and lawmakers may be loath to return to a measure that was widely criticized for being padded with thousands of special-interest projects.
		In the short term, the study recommended that the federal gas tax, set at 18.4 cents a gallon since 1993, be indexed for inflation.
		One is that owners of hybrids and other alternative fuel vehicles pay a vehicle fee, the argument being that drivers should bear their fair share to fill the potholes and fix the bridges, regardless of how much or what kind of fuel they use.

	Federal Bill Introduced Ordering States To Pass Mandatory Minimum Penalties For "Drugged Driving" - NORML
		Washington, DC: Federal legislation was introduced this week to withhold highway funding from state legislatures that do not pass laws enacting mandatory minimum penalties for anyone convicted of driving under the influence of illegal drugs.
		The bill, H.R., comes two weeks after panelists at a conference co-sponsored by the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) called on federal officials to develop "uniform standards" and "model legislation" to encourage states to enact and/or modify their DUID (driving under the influence of drugs) laws.
		Under the proposed legislation, sponsored by Rep. Jon Porter (R-NV), states have until 2006 to pass and enforce DUID laws "approved by the Administrator of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration," or lose portions of their federal highway funding.

		The rebuilding of the Pacific Highway has concentrated on the parts of the highway that had a high incidence of fatalities and crashes, that is, the area north of Newcastle around Coffs Harbour and south of the Tweed.

	Times Community Newspapers - Lack of political will could result in highway closings
		The Federal Highway Administration has announced that their latest alternatives for road construction and property condemnation "to close U.S. 29 and Route 234 through Manassas National Battlefield Park," and are saying that they are giving the public "more time for Bypass input."
		Not only were the roads kept constricted to two lanes when four lanes disappeared on either side of the park, the intersection was kept in a 1940s design and turn-ins and turn-outs were limited and kept unsafe.
		While there is plenty of blame to go around, these pandering politicians that sell out their constituents for support and adulation from national groups with national agendas are the root of so much national mischief that takes away our rights and freedoms one small group at a time.

	21/9/2004 -- Utah Backs Off Claim to Road Across Federal Lands
		The state and Juab County staked a claim to the 99 mile Weiss Highway in Utah's west desert region, saying it was a road built to open up the West, and although it crosses federal lands, it really belongs to the county under a Civil War era law known as RS 2477.
		This so-called loophole has led to decades of dispute over which routes were legitimate highways as of 1976 and so can be maintained or developed as highways, and which were not and must be allowed to remain as they are.
		To claim a road, route, or cowpath under the RS 2477 loophole, a state or county must first prove that it constructed that route before the land was protected as a park, refuge, forest or before October 1976, when the law was repealed.

		WASHINGTON -- The Interstate Highway System turns 50 this year, and the "celebration" is being used to assess where transportation in this country is going.
