Divert them all to 190/90 which are largely deserted.

Raise speed limit on basin to 70

Do this for 3 months and monitor traffic flow patterns.

May make a new bridge and widening roads unnecessary.

Who gives a shite if truckers’ loads of walmart crap are delayed by 30 min,

Never going to happen. Those injury lawyers have long reaches. Would be nice though.

The legislature will never take 18 wheelers off I-10.

Less 18 Wheelers on I-10, less the wrecks

Less the law suits

I-10 would work as designed if you dumb shits would learn how to pay attn and drive defensively.

I often wonder if a bad 18 wheeler wreck that damaged the bridge or a natural disaster or something would force them to take actual action and start work on a new bridge instead of endless studies that do nothing.

shite, at least demolish the Washington st exit so you don’t have a 1 lane interstate

Spoken like a true idiot. Without 18 wheelers this country wouldn’t exist in its current state. Sorry if you’re 30 minutes late for Braxton’s travel ball practice

No we can’t. It’s a federal road.

The better question is, can we ban injury attorneys?

I proposed this as a solution for the Baton Rouge bridge. People said not do able.

Make them take the North Bridge and the traffic/wrecks will decrease. The "new bridge" is so steep, they have trouble getting up and breaking suddenly. Not to mention switching lanes I'm the 1/2 mile before it drops to one lane.

The latest fiery wreck was initially caused by a car wreck fyi.

So in the name of safety, we want thousands of 18 wheelers to now travel down a substandard non Interstate grade highway that passes through numerous small towns? We will also force all these 18 wheelers to exit I10 onto I49 coming from Lake Charles.

Anyone who is familiar with that east bound exit design would realize how dangerous this would be. The daily carnage would be staggering.

The FHWA and interstate commerce folks would like a word with you.

quote:

Interstate commerce is regulated by the federal government as authorized under Article I of the U.S. Constitution. The federal government can also regulate commerce within a state when it may impact interstate movement of goods and services and may strike down state actions which are barriers to such movement.

Individual drivers will be banned before those commercial vehicles.
