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

Well they probably would rather it be 30 min late than burning in an inferno like yesterday

In 99 they lowered it to 60. And in 2003, big rigs were lowered to 55. Proof that lower speed limits do not work.

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

The best defense is a good offense.

No we can’t. It’s a federal road.

We need to rebuild our railway infrastructure and automate the trucking industry.

The better question is, can we ban injury attorneys?

Don’t think the latter will happen, not 100%. I’m sure it exists in some capacity currently.
