Bill By Reichem Young
Austin, TX -It is widely known that roads can collapse or create potholes that could disrupt the health or course of drivers. These issues cause health concerns, which need to be addressed. Representative Reichen Young had brought forth the idea of covering the roads in thermoplastic paint. The construction of this change would keep the safety of drivers and pedestrians while in the heat of traffic or road rage. Although this substitution might not seem like a big deal, it would significantly maintain the health of those who currently drive and those who plan on becoming future drivers.
As Reichen Young finished her speech, many other delegates publicly shared their thoughts and questions with Miss Young. One speaker who stepped ahead of the microphone and spoke firmly was Fatimah Sajid. She continues to agree with the statement about using the beneficial material of thermoplastic on highways and roads for driver safety. Once drivers get injured from the dangers of wear and tear on the streets, the situation becomes frustrating because it could have been entirely preventable. The act of the bill shall take effect 90 days after the adjournment of the Youth Legislature. But why is thermoplastic the solution? Thermoplastic is a homogeneous dry mixture that will prepare the roads for any harsh weather conditions or troubling environmental issues. It is inexpensive and highly durable to sustain these measures of coating the streets. If the bill cannot be passed successfully, then there would be no penalties; it is merely a suggestion for the common concern of unsafe roads. The management is committed to keeping the roads coated, but it is also a hassle. However, it will most definitely impact society. As argued by Young, the importance of this bill is to create a better environment for all drivers who choose to experience fresh thermoplastic-painted streets for a safer ride.
