The stoplight will likely have a warning sign at the top of the hill

I will ask the City if this light is in the plans. Thanks

At 55 mph it takes 450 feet (on average) to stop a truck. Anyone going around a blind curve at 55 is dumb, even moreso when entering a town, so I probably wouldn't have a problem with it. But then again I don't drive like a hopped up ungulate.
If you give us the location of the proposed stop light we can give better responses. -
Don't forget, MOST truck drivers actually know_how_to_drive (which is more than I can say about most 4-wheelers....).
