Are US Highways Motorcycle Friendly?
The US Federal Highway Administration's Motorcycle Advisory Council (FHWA-MAC) is running a Road Conditions Survey targeted at motorcycles. The purpose of the survey is to help state and federal highway administrators better understand and plan for the needs of motorcycle riders. They are conducting the survey now (during riding season) because riders are most aware of current conditions and can more accurately respond to the survey.
Please take 10 minutes to take the survey before the deadline of August 1st 2008.
You'll be asked to rate a standard set of attributes about highways and rural roads in the primary area where you ride. There's a comment section where you can identify your favorite road hazard, like slipperly toll booth surfaces, or the bad angle of approach to that cattle grating on your Sunday ride in the country, or the pot holes on right side of the off ramp that you have to weave through.

"the highway department cannot be expected to have any influence on advertisements alongside the road, the weather or other uncontrolled variables."
