Summary: A recent survey by the Center for Excellence in Rural Safety at the University of Minnesota highlighted a glaring dichotomy: motorists' feelings of security on rural roadways are almost completely at odds with the facts. This week's episode is the first of a two-part series on rural roadway safety, as seen from a national perspective and from our perspective here in Texas. For more on the national perspective and its implications, I spoke with Lee Munich, director of the Center for Excellence in Rural Safety.
