Your poem shows just how much the highways have changed and improved. The new system saves the motorist precious time, always significant.

Yes, I remember those times, too. I also remember time before you. (I'm older than you are.) :) :) :)

There were 30,057 fatal motor vehicle crashes in the United States in 2013 in which 32,719 deaths occurred. A curiosity, pedestrian fatalities on Interstates have claimed an average of 610 lives each year. Interesting, since pedestrians are not allowed on Interstates.

They may not be allowed there, but obviously some are there, and some are paying for it with their lives.
