Maybe this will help...

OK, so on our recent drive from West Virginia to Tennessee, we had our first opportunity to travel on the interstates in West Virginia. I must say, they are really clean! Imagine, you are driving through beautiful mountains, on a nicely paved high-speed interstate, and the view is not destroyed by litter. Well, I figured out why.

We're cruising at 60+ mph and I'm starting to notice the highway signs. So many miles to such-and-such a place, rest stop in so many miles, etc. Suddenly, a large no littering sign comes into view. I had to do a double take! (Of course that means looking expectantly for the next one to come into view!) Then I see it:

No kidding! (OK, I didn't take this exact photo while speeding down the road, but this sign is EXACTLY like the ones I kept seeing.)

$25,000!!!!!

Why don't we have laws like this here in Virginia? Clearly it's working in West Virginia!
