A new PPP survey finds that only 15% of North Carolinians support a bill being pushed by Clark Jenkins to allow 53 foot trucks to travel on most state roads.
58% of those polled are opposed to the measure with 27% unsure.
This issue is remarkable in terms of how broad based the opposition to it is. Every single demographic subgroup- men, women, white, black, young, old, and across the political spectrum is opposed with no group expressing more than 20% support for the initiative.

Actually, 53 ft is the length of the trailer only, adding the tractor would be another 12 ft maybe more.
I want to make a point : truckers know what roads to avoid if enough warning is given (whenever the maps dont give a good representation of the type of mountain road it is)sometimes putting up good signs explaining road conditions for longer trucks will keep larger vehicles away.
Thats terrible! IMAGINE HAVING A 53 FT Truck going past your house at all hours of the day and night.
