The local transit authority has officially rerouted heavy truck traffic off Lower Old State Road. This victory belongs entirely to the 192 people who refused to stop asking for a safer street. I am just glad we can finally walk outside without worrying about those massive semi trucks passing by.

Seeing the momentum behind this issue has been completely overwhelming and I truly did not imagine so many people shared this concern. This movement belongs to all of you who realized that our local roads are not meant for heavy freight. Thank you for stepping up to advocate for safer streets in our neighborhood.

Large trucks are often too big to take the turns on the road, resulting in them crossing the midline into the oncoming lane. I’ve nearly been run off the road several times.
I fully support limiting the size of commercial vehicles on Old State Road south of Ridge Road. This road is completely inadequate to safely handle large commercial vehicles.
I have seen semi trailers actually run over the top of a small car, going around a tight turn on Old State Rd. Please use 100 to 109 and stay off Old State with the "big rigs". Thank you
Old State road is way to cliffs, winding , and narrow to have big simis on this road.. there are multiple car accidents on this road.
I drive Old State every day. It’s so busy at school time. I’m so concerned about our high school students and their safety, especially. Every time I follow or meet a semi-truck on Old State, they are always over the yellow line…always!
There are so many other safer routes for large trucks to take.
Large commercial vehicles should not be allowed in Old State for safety reasons!

Semi’s on Old State have been a major issue for many, many years. They are not able to stay in the lane at all, and this poses major risk to all motorists out there.
