...The back bone of any country’s economy is an efficient transport system. Although there are various modes of transportation which include rail, air and oceanic – road transportation is the most extensively used mode of transport. Paved roads for wheeled traffic date back as far as 2200 BC in Babylonia [Jenkins 2015]. South Africa’s road network consists of a vast number of paved roads which is used to transport goods for various industries and for day-to-day commuting to and from home, work, school and so forth. And therefore it is essential that a country’s road network is optimally designed and well maintained in order to maximize the productivity of its economy. The principles incorporated into the design of low volume roads primarily focuses...

...of the way?” (Chang) In Illinois, an 84 year old drove her car through the wall of an elementary school into a cafeteria. That incident claimed the life of 2nd grader Ryan Wesling. As we age our hand-eye coordination ages with us becoming lagged and not as sharp. There are hundreds of cases across the nation of elderly drivers causing car accidents and deaths. Insurance statistics show that after the age of 75, the risk of being the responsible party of a car accident both fatal and non-fatal greatly increases (highway). Illinois and New Hampshire are currently the only two states in the Union that require road tests for people over the age of 75. I believe that there needs to be a national road test that all citizens over the age of 75 must be required to take and pass in order to continue driving. There are concerns that if the elderly are required to take another road test and do not pass, that they will be out of means of transportation. Elderly citizens who have retired like to feel that they have a certain amount of control over their lives as their ability to do physical tasks deteriorates. The ability to drive wherever and whenever gives them a sense of independence and freedom. Taking that privilege away from them may seem unfair but for the sake of their safety and public safety it should be a priority. There are both state and federal programs available to provide the...

...In the "Rough Road Ahead: Do Not Exceed Posted Speed Limit" by Joe Kurmaskie, a cyclist decides to test his luck with trying a “‘shortcut’ that was to slice away hours of [his] ride to Yosemite National Park”, advice given to him by a group of old strangers. Eventually he begins to realize that his trust was misplaced as his water supply diminishes to nothingness and the landscape changes from hopeful straight roads to ghost-town scattered hills. The various tragic events in the setting, such as the rusted pump and washout juice factory, as well as his depletion of water, follows the downward spiral of both the cyclist’s sanity and trust. The water pump at the first stop on the Yosemite trip is a sign of hopefulness for the cyclist, that is, until he realizes that the pump is rusted. As he works “the handle of the rusted water pup with all [his] strength” the narrator slowly realizes how little help the “two hundred degrees…battery acid” water will be for him. The water pump, a sign of possible revival, shows the beginning of the cyclist’s sanity’s fall. His water supply continues to deplete as he moves on, where the “flat road [is] replaced by short, rolling hills”....

...Imagine you are driving at night on a winding road. The snow is coming down and you cannot see, as you begin to approach a curve. You make out dim brake lights of traffic ahead, but despite the driving conditions, you feel safe. How can you feel safe under these conditions, you ask. Very easily, the way of the future will be Scott Brusaw’s Smart Road. Owned by Virginia Department of Transportation, the Smart Road will lead to safer highways and vehicles, more conventional travel, and less stress behind the wheel. Researchers will get to apply their creative ideas to real-life situations in a low-risk environment, while business developers could gain profitable partnerships and new projects. The Smart Road is a rare, state-of-the-art, full-scale, closed test-bed research facility which features weather-making capabilities, an experimental lighting system, pavement markings, road weather information systems, a signalized intersection, a differential GPS system, road access and surveillance, and a computer-equipped control center. It is the first of its kind with a long history and possibly an even longer future. It all started when the idea and the proposal for a connecting road from Blacksburg to Interstate 81 was introduced in 1985. Roanoke Mayor Noel Taylor favored the idea introduced by Roanoke-Virginia Tech Advisory Council in 1986. The following year the Department of Transportation was asked to consider short and long-term answers for traffic jamming along Route 460. Governor...

Verma The debate on the use and abuse of plastics vis-a-vis environmental protection can go on, without yielding results until practical steps are initiated at the grassroots level by everyone who is in a position to do something about it. The plastic wastes could be used in road construction and the field tests withstood the stress and proved that plastic wastes used after proper processing as an additive would enhance the life of the roads and also solve environmental problems. The present write-up highlights the developments in using plastics waste to make plastic roads. Plastic is everywhere in today’?s lifestyle. It is used for packaging, protecting, serving, and even disposing of all kinds of consumer goods. With the industrial revolution, mass production of goods started and plastic seemed to be a cheaper and effective raw material. Today, every vital sector of the economy starting from agriculture to packaging, automobile, ...

...I. Introduction According to S. R. Harvey (2004), Public Finance is the branch of economics that studies the taxing and spending activities of government. Public finance refers to government activities including taxing, spending, and budgeting. Government controls the public activities to ensure stabilization of economic. In order to maintain the economic stabilization in the country, there must be budget. Means that budget is important for the government to allocate the expenditure of the country. Budget can be defined as an estimation of income and expenditure for a set period of time. Furthermore, budget is a microeconomic concept that shows the tradeoff made when one good is exchanged for another. . According to Ekstein (1973), budget can been define as detail statement of income and expenditure that have been made or expected to be made. There are several function of a budget which is as a policy tool and instrument. Means that, budget is a tangible of a policy decision whereby budget is a means of establishing policy that been accomplished through the budget’s allocation of government resource. Besides that other function of budget is as a management tool whereby almost all government activities are funded through the budget and since the budget is a continuous process it is an effective tool for the public official because it provides an effective management device at every stage of government activity. Means that, any of the activity planned by government will be reflected...

Professor e-mail: sivapragasam25@gmail.com Senior Lecturer e-mail: vnthsekar@yahoo.co.in Arun, V.M. Sutharsanam, S. Scholar e-mail: arundas84@gmail.com Scholar e-mail: arundas84@gmail.com Department of Civil Engineering, Kalasalingam University, Krishnankoil, Virudhunagar ABSTRACT This project is being developed for use in of Virudhunagar District. It is around 20Kms in length. The sub grade must be stable, unyielding, properly drained and free from volume changes due to variation in moisture. If not, it leads to failure of pavement. Normally, pavement fails due to the reasons such as structural, functional, or materials failure, or a combination of these. But in the study area, it is observed that, the pavement failure is under the category of structural failure. To overcome this failure, it needs to improve the sub grade soil bearing capacity. In this project Synthetic Non-woven geotextiles (GT) were placed at different depth of soil and the improvement in soil bearing capacity are checked by CBR and UCC test. From this study, single layer of GT introduced at the centre (mid depth) shows better performance than those samples with the GT layer at other depth. 1.
