MoDOT News Release: Respect the Load. Share the Road
Commercial motor vehicle awareness campaign to run in August.
JEFFERSON CITY – Respect the Load. Share the Road. That’s the message you’ll be seeing across Missouri August 2-22 in a statewide campaign urging drivers to drive safely around large trucks and buses. In turn, commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers will be reminded to obey traffic laws, use their seat belts, slow down and pay attention.
“There were 130 people killed involving a CMV in 2020, with over 80% being drivers or passengers of other vehicles,” said Jon Nelson, MoDOT assistant to the state highway and traffic engineer. “Please don’t risk your life by driving aggressively around big trucks and buses.”
Commercial motor vehicles make up 20% of Missouri’s interstate traffic, carry goods from coast to coast and are a vital part of our nation’s economy. They also provide critical services many Missourians rely on every day. When crashes involving CMVs happen, the disproportionate size of the large truck versus a car means those crashes can often involve serious injuries, or worse. Research shows that in most of these crashes, drivers of passenger cars unnecessarily endanger themselves by not paying attention and driving aggressively around CMVs. That’s why it’s so important for all motorists to drive safely around CMVs. Respect the Load. Share the Road.
The Missouri Coalition for Roadway Safety offers the following tips for driving safely around CMVs.
· Don’t cut off large trucks or buses. Make sure you can see both of the truck’s cab lights in your rearview mirror before moving back into your original lane.
· Stay out of the “No Zone.” Large trucks and buses have large blind spots on either side and up to 200 feet behind a vehicle. Pass only on the left side. Don’t linger in a blind spot. Do not tailgate large trucks and buses.
· Watch your following distance. Keep a safety cushion around large trucks. Can you see the truck’s side mirrors? If not, the driver cannot see you.
· Anticipate wide turns. Large trucks and buses need extra turning room.
· Be patient. Large trucks and buses accelerate slowly and may use speed limiters.

MoDOT continues to work toward a goal of zero roadway fatalities and urges all who travel in and around the Show-Me State this summer to buckle up, put the cellphone down, slow down and never drive while impaired. Whether driving through a work zone, sharing the road with motorcyclists or cruising around city streets with pedestrians in the area, slowing down and paying attention can help save lives.

Obituary - Elizabeth "Betty" Jean Murphy
Betty was born and lived most of her life in Rosedale, KS (now Kansas City, KS) until relocating to Harrisonville, MO where she resided at Crown Care Center since 2014. Daughter, sister, cousin, aunt, wife, mother, grandmother, great and great-great-grandmother, (yes, 5 generations!), friend and co-worker, were just a few of the hats she wore in her lifetime. Employment consisted of numerous office positions, among them Jules Borel & Co. and most notably Studio DuVall's in Ward Parkway Shopping Center, owned and operated by her firstborn daughter, Sharon Welsh (deceased 1989).
The youngest of 9 children born to Arthur & Effie (Craine) Standish (deceased 1929 & 1969), she survived them all; married to Delbert J. Murphy (deceased 1981), together they raised 4 children - Sharon Welsh, Patricia Jurgeson (husband John), Cleveland, MO; Deborah Murphy, Belton, MO; Michael Murphy (wife Debra), Trophy Club, Texas; 5 grandchildren with 2 bonus grands, 10 great-grandchildren with 4 bonus greats, and 2 great-great-grandchildren with another to be born Oct. 2021 - all because two people loved each other.
Betty lived through World Wars (some right there at home!), the Great Depression, men on the moon, Polio to Covid 19 and so much more. Her love of gardening and boating created the most fabulous flower gardens with drift wood and rocks from Stockton Lake; bowling at Roe Lanes was highly competitive and a family tradition; caramel rolls and cream puffs were her specialty that rivaled any bakery; so many talents, from stained glass to creative handmade gifts for all occasions which blessed family, friends, and her other residents; classy, sassy lady with a bit of glitz and bling to her attire; hugs and blowing kisses defined her come and go; a member of Rosedale Congregational Church, she created children's story time (which was known to include a live lamb and baby chick to illustrate the birth, death and resurrection of Jesus); Florence Nightingale nursing qualities without the degree served us all so well; documented Standish descendant to Myles Standish (thanks to our historian, Deborah Murphy), an English military officer among the pilgrims on the ship Mayflower who played a leading role in Plymouth colony's foundation in 1620.
Some quotes that describe the essence of our Beloved:
'She lived with a mind and in a body that could not keep up with her spirit';
'To live in the hearts and memory of those left behind is to not die';
