Commercial Truck Parking on Main Street Why Not?

No bike lane cars and bikes must go into on coming traffic when Trucks are parked on Main Street.
Commercial Truck Parking on Main Street Why Not?

  1. Take's up more then one parking space.
  2. Blocks the store from sight of customers.
  3. Size of Commercial Truck.Block the view of others and make vehicles enter other lane.
  4. Damage Done by over size Trucks.To Trees and wires.
  5. Speed of vehicles which can not see around large trucks.
  6. Weight of Trucks on road could cause damage to road surface.
  7. Commercial Truck making turns on Main Street must enter the oncoming lane to turn very unsafe.
  8. Parking in Bus stops to make Deliveries which causes riders to enter the street to be seen by the bus.
  9. Running of Vehicles bad for Air quality and noise bad for business.
  10. Vehicles parking or double parking make bikes enter unsafe areas of the road.
Trucks, trucks, trucks
Growing truck traffic is one factor that everyone cites for worsening congestion.
Miles traveled by U.S. commercial trucks increased 229 percent between 1970 and 1999, federal statistics show. During the same time, miles traveled by passenger cars only grew 71 percent, and interstate capacity grew less than 10 percent.
Today, each semi-truck takes up the same room on the highway as eight cars.
"There seems to be an almost rhythmic expansion in trucks," traffic reporter Phillips says. "They are everywhere all the time now. It used to be that maybe one out of every 15 vehicles was a truck. Now, I'd say that is about one in seven." 

Why Not have Deliveries Zones on side roads? 

Why Not have a real Bike Path? 


Why Not have times for deliveries like 6am to 9am or 3pm to 5pm or off peak hours.





Free tree trimming.

Where is it safe no bike lanes here?
