Reply to comment by cwillm in Yet another truck stuck in the notch. How many does this make this year? I've lost count by grnmtnboy0
I agree there's no excuse and truck drivers should be using truck gps. An engineering solution won't fix drivers ignoring signs and blindly following GPS. At best it can get them stuck in a location that makes it easier to remove them or that allows cars to bypass them while stuck (not a small or simple solution).
Not sure the whopping $3600 bucks from fines this year is incentive to "keep letting this happen", but an engineering solution to prevent trucks from ending up in the Notch will be very expensive and most likely entirely state funded.
If we're waiting on the $3600/yr to fund a half million dollar project, we'll be waiting about 135 more years.
