Scott Marler, Director of the Iowa DOT explains how Iowa is prepared for train derailments, how common this kind of incident is, and why construction zones block off lanes for "no f***ing reason" to quote an Iowa DOT Construction sign that was manipulated by an unknown motorist. 

Marler also discusses the federal infrastructure package as it relates to Iowa, the safety of Iowa's bridges, why higher EV registration is actually a wash in overall taxes, what is the deal with I-80 near Iowa city, and he introduces new technology that will allow road workers to communicate with your car and navigation apps.
