NC Bans Text Messaging PDF Print E-mail
Tuesday, 23 June 2009 12:08
 North Carolina’s Legislature has banned text messaging by all drivers.  The North Carolina anti-texting legislation was sent to Gov. Beverly Perdue and signed in to law on June 19th.  The new law takes effect Dec. 1st.  North Carolina will become the seventh state to pass a ban this year on texting while driving.  A national highway safety group says North Carolina becomes the 14th state in recent years to ban texting while driving in hopes of curbing driver distraction and accidents.  Fines for most drivers will be $100 in addition to court costs. No points or insurance increases will result from the infraction. School bus drivers, already singled out in a state cell phone ban, would be subject to texting misdemeanors with fines starting at $100.   North Carolina drivers over the age of 18 are permitted to use cell phones with or without a hands-free device.  If you would like more information on this new legislation just click here.click here.

Thursday, 11 June 2009 08:45
For the past several years, the North Carolina Department of Transportation has published the Minimum Construction Standards for Subdivision Roads.  This reference manual is used by developers, engineering firms and others involved in constructing subdivisions and the resulting roads that are proposed to be added to the State's maintained system of roads.  The most recent version of this document was published in January 2000 and includes minor updated information.  Since the January 2000 publication, there have been changes within the Department of Transportation and the construction industry, as well as environmental regulations and construction methods and materials, which affect the content of this manual.  An internal committee drafted a new version to be published this year.  As part of the process, industry partners are invited to review the draft manual and provide comments. 
 
Attached with this email you will find the latest draft version that is out for public comment.  As a quick reference, proposed changes for the January 1, 2000 version are summarized and provided on the following 4 pages. The next 50 pages is a draft of the new version with changes high-lighted on each page. Comments provided to the North Carolina Department of Transportation by June 30, 2009 will be considered a part of the review process. A draft will then be presented to the Board of Transportation for final approval.
