There's a good reason for that...a meaningful amount of data that is comparable to MMPs in TV does not exist.

And as far as "This is from transportation and safety experts and engineers who are educated in, and spend each and every day reviewing and analyzing transportation information with respect to safety"...I was one of those guys for 30+ years.

And believe me...the vast majority of those guys would agree on the general principle that improved visibility leads to improved safety.
