Hey drivers, have you heard the latest buzz about the express lanes being proposed on I-94 between Ann Arbor and Detroit? 🛣️ The folks at Washtenaw County aren’t too thrilled about it.
These proposed lanes stretch for about 39 miles and might just be reserved for self-driving vehicles down the road. 🚗💨 Now, before you think this doesn’t affect us, let’s break it down:
First off, if these express lanes become reality, it could create a whole new dynamic for freight traffic in the region. Picture this: fewer big rigs cruising on those lanes, which might mean losing out on some lucrative freight opportunities. If there’s separation by lane, we could see changes in pay for the lanes we usually run. 💵
Plus, let’s not forget about inspections. More autonomous vehicles could bring new regulations and inspection protocols that could further complicate our day-to-day operations. It’s something we all need to keep an eye on, especially if you’re loading in or out of that area.
So, what do you think, fellow road warriors? Are we for or against these plans? Make sure to share your thoughts at the next pit stop! 🛑
Know this before your next haul. Stay informed and ready for whatever changes come our way! 🚚💨
