    I was heading westbound on 40 and in Flagstaff saw the sign that said Phoenix one way, Los Angeles the other... I thought to myself, there really is no wrong answer, then another time I was coming out of Grand Rapids and got to a sign that said Detroit one way, and Chicago the other and I thought to myself, there is no right answer.

    Come on, Chicago's got problems, but noware near as bad as Detroit. The only city comparable to Detroit is Gary, IN.

    the no truck signs aren't always conveniently placed, sometimes a turn is already in place and then you're SOL. Trip planning helps, but then there are detours that can throw you for a loop. Main thing is to not panic.

    I have encountered a few places in the chicago area where the cross street is not marked no trucks and when you turn you can't see the no truck sign until you are already on the road. So then you got to decide what is safer, back blindly back into the intersection or go forward and look for someware to turn around.
     
    6wheeler and demi Thank this.
