THAT is genius. There’s probably some Federal highway system law that will prevent it, but it’s a great idea.

Why spoil the beauty of a thing with legalities?

--attributed to former president and 1912 presidential candidate Theodore Roosevelt.

[If they don't have any respect for the laws of other states, why should we have any for them. And recall that back when the Federal Highway National Superhighway Surface Traffic Regulation Commission mandated the 55-MPH speed limit, it was Wyoming, Montana and [IIRC] Nevada that held out the longest. When the feds threatened to end Wyoming's federal highway money, Wyoming threatened to stop collecting gas tax at the pumps, and offered to put a 15-mile-per-hour speed limit on !-80 and I-90.]

And this one from the Wyoming legislature REALLY has had 'em in a snit.
