Rerouting Is Key to Freeway Safety
* New signs up at dangerous Santa Ana Freeway interchanges are not going to prevent trucks or cars from crashing into each other (April 2).
A larger speed-limit sign installed by Caltrans will not change the fact that truck drivers require a longer stopping distance to control their vehicle, especially if the driver is exceeding the speed limit.
The Santa Ana and Riverside freeways interchange is simply too dangerous for a big rig to negotiate safely.
Has anyone at Caltrans thought of rerouting trucks until construction is completed?
