Limiting Truck Traffic to Ease Congestion on the County’s Freeways
We are pleased to see that the Orange County Transportation Committee plans to study further the possibility of limiting trucks on our freeways to ease traffic congestion (March 10).
This is a very critical truck safety measure as well, since it would help to minimize the number of truck-related accidents.
Truck-involved collisions killed 678 people in California in 1986. This is an increase of 40.2% since 1982, according to California Highway Patrol statistics.
By reducing the number of trucks at peak traffic hours we are making our freeways safer.
