Truck only lanes * USA - Pick up speed
St. Louis,MO, United States -The St. Louis Post-Dispatch, by Elisa Crouch -22 Feb 2009: -- The decades-old battle between cars and rigs on Interstate 70 could come to an end if the Missouri Department of Transportation has its way... After a yearlong study, the agency is recommending that $3.9 billion be spent to rebuild 200 miles of I-70 between Lake Saint Louis and Independence. Under the plan, two lanes each direction would be for semis, and two lanes each way would be for the rest of traffic...
I-70 has some of the heaviest truck traffic in the country, leaving drivers of smaller vehicles feeling intimidated. Separating cars and semis would improve safety for both, according to the study... Texas and Nevada are examining truck lanes for interstates with high truck traffic. Georgia considered truck-only lanes along 27 miles of Interstate 75 outside of Atlanta, and 20 miles of Interstate 285... The Federal Highway Administration has given the plan preliminary approval. MoDOT officials will seek final approval later this year... (Photo by Richard McFall/FILE, July 2007: Westbound Interstate 70 in Montgomery County, Mo)Labels: trucks only lanes
