Space hogs? * USA - Truckers give state high marks for parking spots
Truckers rank Pennsylvania as one of the best states for parking their big rigs overnight, but anyone traveling the Harrisburg Pike in Middlesex Twp. might find that hard to believe.
Harrisburg,PA,USA -The Patriot-News, by DAN MILLER -May 10, 2007: -- That stretch of road, nicknamed "the Miracle Mile," has three truck stops with a combined 700-plus parking spaces. The lots almost always are full, especially on weeknights, township zoning officer Mark Carpenter said... So truckers park along the roads going into and out of the stops and anywhere else with space big enough for a rig, Carpenter said. That can cause traffic tie-ups, forcing township police to clear things out, he said... Carpenter said he would like to see the state create more spaces for truckers to safely pull off from highways... It's "a big issue nationwide and it's also big in Pennsylvania," said Jim Runk, president and CEO of the Camp Hill-based Pennsylvania Motor Truck Association. "If you're not in a truck stop by 4 p.m., you may not get a place to spend the night"...
