Answer the following questions:
How would traffic on a highway be organized according to the new concept?
What advantages of the proposal are mentioned in the text?
What might be one possible drawback of the concept?
Do you think the proposal for dedicated truck lanes is a good idea? Why? / Why not?
Correct the mistakes (each of the sentences contains one mistake).
Example: Oversized trucks and … buses … weaving dangerously in and out of shared lanes can often be seen on highways. COMPACT CARS
The report proposes building the truck lanes within the shoulder of the existing highways.
It also suggests funding the construction and destruction of the ‘truckways’ with tolls.
The added truck lanes would increase traffic congestion and improve safety.
Each truck lane would be 4 metres wide, with full 2-metre medians on both sides of each lane.
Normal traffic lanes would be provided at frequent intervals.
Trucks would enter and exit on dedicated bridges and would not interact with normal traffic.
Some states which currently prohibit large tractors could safely let them use the truckways.
The railway industry would reap the greatest benefits.
