interesting.

Even a picture of what it would look like.


Comments?

Doesn't it make more sense to have trucks on the outside?

I like the idea! Its gotta be at least 2 lanes though, otherwise it will turn something like an HOV lane- all the slowpokes hang out there! Then the slowpoke wont be able to safely get off since all the fast trucks are overtaking him on the right! :? :x

Cars to the left, trucks to the right...

Ya, that makes sense, especially when most 4 wheelers in a city live there and are only going a few miles whereas the trucks are passing through and not using any of the exits.

Makes perfect sense - from a government idiot anyway...

Why does the picture say "Trucks Only Toll Lane??" Does it mean that if you would rather not pay the toll you can go on the regular lanes?? They need to put a divider between the truck and car lanes, not a grass median. Any slip up and a truck is going across into the cars.

Most trucks are passing thru, put them in the middle is the best thing to do but what do you do with the coops which are on the outside??

never thought of that, just get rid of em!

Mr. Ford95 09-29-2007 07:42 PM

Would cost some money but what if a tunnel or flyover ramp was put in at each coop to get over to them and then back over to the center? You know, a mandatory detour by sending both lanes over there, none would go straight thru in the center.

Hell of an idea. Whos gonna pay for it?

Kind of reminds me of the NJ TPKE a little.
