Albemarle County, formed from Goochland in 1744, is fortunate in having preserved in its records three volumes of surveys made by the surveyors of the county between 1744 and 1853. In a sense, Albemarle County's good fortune extends to several other counties in central Virginia for they were at one time partially or wholly within the confines of th

The condition that presents the most serious restriction is fog, although rainfall during the night frequently creates serious visibility problems. Because of the ability of reflex refle

From a review of relevant research studies and laws of other states, it was concluded that changing the speed limit for vehicles of 6,501-10,000 pound gross weight would be premature pending further evidence that trucks of this size do not significantly differ from cars in their operational characteristics.
