Enforcement Efforts Underway on Broadway Overpass

Boise, Idaho -- Enforcement efforts are being stepped up at the Broadway overpass in southeast Boise. Last week, a semi-truck and Idaho Transportation Department vehicle collided, resulting in a fiery crash that damaged the bridge.
ITD had implemented weight restrictions on the southbound lanes, but when those weren't followed, the department shut it down to all commercial trucks. But apparently, not all truck drivers are getting the message.
Signs informing truck drivers to not use the southbound Broadway overpass are proving to not be 100 percent effective.
"Seen bits and pieces of it. I didn't see all of it. I don't understand cause I'm from out of town," said Harlan Martin, a semi-truck driver.
Martin's inattentiveness got him a $75 ticket. Instead of following the warning signs directing him to the next exit, he drove over the southbound lanes of the bridge, only to be busted by Ada County sheriff's deputies.
"There was no sign saying south left, south going right, how was I supposed to know?" said Martin.

Maby the state needs to realize that the truckstop is at the south end of the bridge and the westbound I-84 traffic is at the north end. the only way to fix the problem is to close the bridge to all traffic and fix it.
