I’ve personally been in danger driving the 74 due to Semis running me off the road. They don’t belong on this narrow, winding highway period.
Justine supported: Lives Are In Danger (CA Highway 74 Palms to Pines)Just this past Wed, Feb 19 on my drive from Paradise Corners to Palm Desert, I counted 9 tractor trailers and one very long semi using this portion of Hwy 74 in a 30 minute period. Pot holes are reappearing along this dangerous stretch of road. The trip to the desert from the mountains has always been an adventure, but now it is a harrowing experience.
Diane supported: Lives Are In Danger (CA Highway 74 Palms to Pines)I drive this road everyday, with my two babies, in a Prius. At least once a week we pass an incoming semi truck on a curve who can't stay in their lane. Even if the front of the truck is in the correct lane, the rear tires are crossed over the double yellow line. My car and my kids have no chance against a semi truck. It's not fair that we drive safely and are faced with this extreme risk everyday. Highway 74 is the only way to get to and from our home
Alexandra supported: Lives Are In Danger (CA Highway 74 Palms to Pines)I drive this road twice a week for my work with the school district - over the last 5 years I have had numerous close calls with semi trucks crossing the center line - there should be a 3-4 axel limit to limit the traffic to local deliveries and not over the mountain transport.
Michael supported: Lives Are In Danger (CA Highway 74 Palms to Pines)I live on Hwy 74 & I hear the big trucks speeding by as they go up the hill all day & even at night( they are avoiding the scales on Interstate 10 in Cabazon. There is another big problem that no one is addressing. Motorcycle groups are going up & down the Highway at extremely high speeds. They "rev" their engines & surround cars & intimidate any one who happens to be driving north or south. This happens almost every night & Sat. & Sun. mornings. I have counted as many as 10 to 12 motorcycles going as fast as 80 to100 miles an hour! Their goal is to go up to the view point & then race back down the hill. I have sound proof windows but when they all ride together in a group the noise is defening. This happens between 8:00 and 10:00pm, usually on Tuesdays & Thursdays. Maybe we could have a CHP patrol car cruising Hwy. 74 to help eliminate this problem?
Susan supported: Lives Are In Danger (CA Highway 74 Palms to Pines)The trucks are so dangerous going around this winding cures of the mountain. Often they have difficulty staying in their lands around corners. I drive 74 often to SD & have been startled by some of these big trucks.
