Grinnell editorial opposes 60-foot trucks on highways
The Grinnell Herald-Register blasts a 60-foot truck law as inadequate and dangerous. It criticizes current restrictions that force trucks to zigzag on narrow routes, urges building wider highways of 24 feet or more, and argues safety and efficiency demand system-wide road upgrades. It notes rising Iowa traffic deaths and calls for action to accommodate long trucks.
