Hello everyone! The news article that got my attention was from KXAN titled "Highway safety secrets exposed" written by Brian Collister and Joe Ellis.
The article talks about how TXDOT keeps safety information about the roads it maintains a secret. Neither federal or state law is aimed at keeping highway safety records from the public. It only states it can’t be used in court. Which means there is no law that prevents TXDOT from releasing that information to the public; the only thing that does is their fear of lawsuits. There has been lawsuits held against TXDOT in the past, because of fatal crashes due to roads that were in poor conditions. People should know whether or not the roads they are driving on are in poor conditions, in order for them to take precautions while driving and prevent more fatal crashes in the future.
