Reply to comment by Radi5h in In Vermont, trucks keep getting stuck in Smugglers’ Notch. Locals are at their wit’s end. by bostonglobe

Have like 20 warning signs. Telling them they will go bankrupt if they do this.

As far as I can tell the only people still doing this are idiots who assume the signs are exagerating or something.

Stopping people from only going in once isnt enough. Since there are a ton of idiots.

To be fair to truckers, there is a history of tourist towns putting up signs to prevent truck traffic when no such restrictions actually exist.

I assume the folks that still get caught in the notch are ones with out of state driver's who think stowe is full of shit.
