Dear Mr. Secretary,

I V.Eddle Beepath of Chambersburg, PA have a safety proposition that can benefit the entire county maybe the world. I feel that the current color of the lines on the roadway system needs to be revised and changed. The current colors which occupy the roadway system tend to be invisible at critical blizzards, dense fog, sleepy truckers, teen drivers, black ice conditions, (i.e. -nighttime driving during heavy rains, whiteouts, Considering black tires on white lines… can't quite see them after a while… My proposition is considering changing the current color of white to fluorescent green and the current yellow to fluorescent orange to conclude with safety concerns. I believe the entire country would benefit from such a change in regards to safety I am thanking, you for your Valuable time.

V. Eddie Beepath
