TRUCK TRAFFIC * USA - MoDOT says no to mandatory truck route restrictions, offers options
Kennett,MISS,USA -The Daily Dunklin Democrat, by George Anderson -July 8, 2009: -- The city of Kennett recently received its answer from the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) regarding the possibility of setting up a truck route around the town... After a diesel truck broke an axle and turned over on First Street last month, spilling hundreds of gallons of liquid fertilizer, Mayor, Roger Wheeler, contacted MoDOT about the possibility of setting up a truck route using the city's north and south bypasses... In a letter dated June 25, 2009, MoDOT District Traffic Engineer, Craig Compas, responded to Wheeler's request, offering options for the city to consider... As stated last month by Steve Hoernig, traffic operations engineer with MoDOT, the department cannot restrict traffic along MO 84 due to the road being paid for by tax monies... Hoernig said that MO 84 is a state road paid for by tax money and by law, since the trucking companies pay taxes, it cannot restrict their access...
