New “Trucks Only” Lanes For I-10? [POLL]
Sure, why not? Other big Texas cities are considering it.
I-10, as we're all painfully aware, is a mess. Several ideas have been considered to ease our problems including, dedicating a lane to trucks alone. I have a couple of questions about this:
- 1)--I have a Ford F-150, would I be able to use this lane?
- 2)--How the f*** are they going to pull this off?
Even Jeff Shelton, program manager for the Texas A& M Transportation Institute in El Paso, is skeptical. He told KVIA.com:
"If they want to build another lane just for trucks, they would probably have to acquire more right of way to build another lane, and that's a huge investment for I-10. And on the east side, there is nothing you can steal. You can't make it any wider. There is no room."
Wanna bet they still try it?
