INFRASTRUCTURES * USA: TRUCKS ONLY LANES

* Georgia - Proposes truck-only lanes on 40-mile stretch along Interstate 75

-- The state of Georgia, in an unprecedented move, is planning to build two northbound truck-only lanes paralleling a heavily travelled 40-mile stretch along Interstate 75 from Macon to McDonough, about 30 miles south of Atlanta... The law calls for a six-cents-a-gallon increase in the state fuels tax and a series of new user fees, including a surcharge on large trucks registered with the state. No tolls are contemplated to pay for the proposed corridor.. No state has pulled off a project of this magnitude, according to Robert Poole, cofounder of The Reason Foundation, a think tank. Truck-only lanes do exist, but they are comprised of so-called climbing lanes whose grades are too steep for heavy-duty trucks to safely maneuver...
