PHOENIX — The Broncos recently ramped up their survey efforts as they continue through a long process that ultimately will lead to a decision about whether to build a new stadium.The Walton-Penner Family Ownership Group started touring stadiums during the season and is keeping tabs on building projects around the NFL, as well.The survey season-ticket holders received recently included questions about the preferred location of a new stadium, what’s important about the game day experience, how far people are willing to travel, if they’d prefer a permanent roof, retractable roof, canopy or no roof and a raft of other queries.

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:18:53 GMT

A little-known part of California's vehicle code gives doctors the legal right to break speeding laws - so long as they are responding to an emergency.Vehicle Code 21058 allows a physician responding to an emergency call to be exempt from some of the laws governing speed limits.According to the California Medical Association, the exemption only applies when traveling to emergencies, when driving on freeways - and does not allow the driver to ignore other traffic rules (such as stop signs or HOV lanes).The doctor exemption also does not allow them to be unsafe on the roads - even when speeding. The second part of the law even clarifies that a doctor using this permission without due consideration for the end result will be held responsible."The provisions of this section do not relieve the driver of the vehicle from the duty to drive with due regard for the safety of all persons using the highway, nor protect the driver from the consequences of an arbitrary exercise of the privileges...
