The less than penurious authorities cited throughout this writing,

though seemingly redundant, are not attendant of an obstreperous

mentality; yet are instead meant to emphatically impress the all but

unobstructed use of the highways. This information is not intended

to belay comity, scruples, respect, consideration or empathy for fellow

travelers or abate or avoid law or policy where and when applicable.
