    There are at least 2 overhead signs showing the right 2 lanes as the i5sb truck bypass, but I don't believe it says "trucks must take bypass." However, If you didn't take the bypass, you would be violating the state's 3rd lane law until you merged your way through 3 lanes of 405 traffic...

    fyi my co is installing gps chips in our qualcom units as a way to help drivers who do not
    have personal gps units,

    regardless i am buying a trucker rand mcnally 7" but my trainer says i should get the 5" because the larger screen gets hotter and burns out faster and needs to be replaced, what are your thought, please? thanks!

    Really? Based upon how many days of experience? I run the 5" and 7" units on my desk pretty much 24/7/365 for testing and I have been testing units since 2008. It might get turned off for a total of about 2 hours in a month. Never seen a screen burnout yet.

    Thanks,

    Stated by our GIS department - In CA the "truck only" lanes must be taken by the trucks, but the "truck bypass" lanes do not have to be taken.

    If you can find a sign showing "all trucks must use bypass", please let me know about what Mile Marker so I can zoom in on Google and capture it.

    This section has no restrictions in the DB, but RM has massaged the data to try to "force" trucks to use the bypass instead of straight thru. This may not make this map compile.

    Thanks,
    Mark

    I usually go into your registry and clean out any instance of the Dock and then try the download again to see what is hanging up.

    You might look also in your startup tray to make sure the icon is not there already. If so, you can right click/properties and set to "full screen" when the Dock loads up.

    Thanks,
    Mark

    Is this the overhead sign that says Truck Bypass? Looking for a sign that says you must take the bypass if one is posted.
