The Chino Hills City Council approved restricting trucks with more than four axles from traveling along Carbon Canyon Road, a narrow S-curved highway.
A popular commuter thoroughfare, connecting north Orange County to western San Bernardino County, is restricting trucks on the road, in efforts to improve safety. Enforcement along the 8.5 mile highway begins next week, with Chino Hills police issuing warnings for now, during the soft-opening of the new restrictions.'So it gets a little sketchy out there, and sometimes they are so big, they don't even hear or see us,' bicyclist Patrick Caro said.
'After years of concerted efforts and collaboration between two cities and two different California Department of Transportation Districts, we are pleased to implement this enforcement action and limit the dangers posed by semi-trucks navigating through Carbon Canyon that have long been a concern for our community,' said Chino Hills Mayor Cynthia Moran.
