Tag: Streets are for people

There are some roads and highways that feel like they are designed especially for your big souped-up truck. Wide-open spaces, broad shoulders, and endless views. Tight winding forest roads where only the rough and tough travel. Treacherous dirt roads that repel road graders, minivans, and Kias but welcome you with open arms. Yet, you know your lift kit and custom exhaust system wasn't added so you could outperform everyone in town, was it? You need that raw adrenaline-fueled performance when you're fording creeks and scaling mountains! When you're at the race track or the truck rally, right?!

Neighbourhood streets are tricky places to navigate for big trucks. They're even trickier to navigate at speeds of 50 km/h and up. Unfortunately, the risk of a collision with a lesser being only increases when there happen to be people walking or cycling on or across the street. We can do better for our truck owners!
