Truck Limit On I-95 In Richmond?
Richmond Times-Dispatch Feb 4, 2004
City Councilman Peter R. Grimm says he has come up with a way to make
Richmond safer and cut down on traffic, noise and air pollution.
His idea: Ban certain truck traffic from Interstate 95 in the city.
"It is a plus, plus, plus situation," Grimm said.
The prohibition would apply to trucks that weigh more than 12,000 pounds and
are not delivering or picking up freight in the Richmond area or not
terminating or originating in the area. Truckers could use Interstate 295 as
an alternative, Grimm said.
Richmond and state police would enforce the prohibition when they catch
truckers violating other laws, Grimm said. Truckers who do not comply with
the ban should face "substantial" fines, according to Grimm, who has not
proposed specific amounts.
