    FIPs. What a pair of schmucks.

    Better traffic management, sure. Petition your local zoning and highway departments.

    You KNOW they both drive cars not made on this continent.

    … have you been there? Although I don't agree with their solution I understand their perspective … it's turned into a zoo there.

    So you mean like what it is with 4 wheelers in LA, It always cracks me up when people complain about the volume of trucks. As they sit there oblivious to the fact that all of the items they own were brought in by a truck. We go where we our told its not our fault they built the warehouses where they did or that the town approved all the building. The whole video all they do is blame the trucks and the drivers for being there.

    It's a bit sketchy how they got all the development thru, local communities feel they were misled and the impact/development was misrepresented. It's not just warehouses, although there's a ton of new ones, there's a rail container yard. The roads were never designed to handle the volume of traffic or trucks. Driving on those roads was like driving thru a mine field. There are a handful of locals that made windfall profits leaving the local communities holding the bag. Definitely not the truckers fault as far as the development goes … but they are not exaggerating about those lights not being safe. Trucks routinely blow thru them and the few make everyone look bad.

    We tell people, "When you come to the intersection be sure to look both left and right..". Gasp! NO! Really? :biggrin_2555:

    Trucks blatantly running red lights, at full speed, is a pretty scary thing if your sitting in a car … unfortunately it's not uncommon there.
