Article 16-A - (330 - 334) HIGHWAY SAFETY
330 - Legislative findings and statement of purpose.

§ 330. Legislative findings and statement of purpose.  The rising toll
  of  deaths  and injuries resulting from highway accidents is a matter of
  state concern. Although the state and local  governments  presently  are
  active  in  virtually  all  areas of highway safety, no formal mechanism
  exists for the integration and coordination of existing safety  efforts.
  The  establishment  of  a  statewide  highway  safety program, under the
  guidance and  direction  of  the  governor,  will  provide  this  needed
  mechanism, and will result in the unification of state and local efforts
  in the struggle to reduce highway deaths and injuries.
