Reply to comment by BurtonFive in Officials Want Ideas for Keeping Trucks Out of Smugglers' Notch by Distinguished_Parrot

Tell me, how would you make 108 a wider road without completely destroying the Notch as it is now?

Not saying widen the entire road, just straighten out the few turns the trucks get stuck at. Don’t advertise the route and still have fines/signs enforced by police for trucks over certain lengths/weights. Just don’t make it a multi hour nuisance to everyone around when people are stupid.

"Don't advertise the route" -it's VT 108, a state highway.

"Just straight a few turns" -this is a geotechnical engineering project, which again will destroy the notch as it is currently.

The notch is more then those two turns with the giant boulders… But as I started with, unpopular opinion.
