Today I am continuing my efforts to lessen traffic woes in all areas. Obviously rush hour is one of the worst times to be out on the roads, especially if you live anywhere near a major city. For most commuters, driving during rush hour is a necessary evil. If you work normal hours, then you will be on the road during rush hour. Aside from telecommuting or taking a train, there is little you can do to avoid it. There are lots of other non-commuters out there however, that could potentially avoid the roads during rush hour, and from now on, they will have to.
Commercial trucks are prohibited from driving on major highways within 50 miles of a major city during rush hours.
Commercial truckers are encouraged to do most if not all of their driving over night. If their routes take them near a bunch of cities, they might have to. It can’t be pleasant for commercial truckers to sit in traffic any more than it is for commuters. Despite them having to work overnight, I think that better road conditions would make for a more enjoyable work experience. Having to work out deliveries with drivers working mostly overnight might be difficult, but it should be worth it for employers. After all, they are only losing money when their trucks are sitting in traffic. It seems like common sense to me anyway.
As always I remain your all-powerful and benevolent Queen of the World,
Marisa
