    Notice the "Be Alert, Heavy Truck Traffic" sign. So many needless crashes where [multiple] trucks are involved lately, it seems.

    And then drivers wonder why more regulations keep coming down the pike aimed at slowing drivers down and trying to make them be the "professionals" they're supposed to be.

    You can talk about cars being responsible for many crashes all you want, but the bottom line is there are far too many truck-related crashes where cars had nothing to do with it other then being the unfortunate one who happened to share space/time with an idiot "truck driver"

    Its also a long steep decent and then around a blind curve with an entrance ramp merging from 309 north.
    I've seen trucks going 80 to 85 down this hill. CRAZY

    Not to mention it goes from 3 lanes down to 2, plus the 2 into one from 309.
