Prohibit Trucks Over 20,000 lbs GVWR on State Route 54, Rush and Ryan Townships
Prohibit Trucks Over 20,000 lbs GVWR on State Route 54, Rush and Ryan Townships
The Issue
For us residents of Barnesville, PA, it has become unbearable. Trucks over 20,000 lbs gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) regularly traverse State Route 54 between Route 309 and Interstate 81. The noise, disruption, and danger they bring to our towns, Rush and Ryan, are palpably distressing. Frequently, these heavy trucks are going over the speed limit, violating regulations and threatening our safety. Their constant presence not only diminishes our quality of life but also impacts our property values adversely. Considering these immediate community concerns, and the long-term sustainability of our towns, it is crucial to restrict such high GVWR trucks on this stretch of the road. This restriction would undoubtedly improve the tranquility of our community and enhance safety for all road users. We urge our local government to take a firm stance on this issue, considering not only our current peace of mind but also the wellbeing of future generations. Please sign this petition to express your support for banning trucks over 20,000 lbs GVWR on State Route 54, between Route 309 and Interstate 81, in Rush and Ryan townships. Help us preserve the charm, tranquility, and safety of our towns.
