…and drivers making the turn onto Gurler can’t see their trailer tires at the half turn point. If they think it’s ok, they WILL ditch the trailer causing even more gridlock throughout the farm roads. You can’t just say, ok, all the semi’s go this way. It’s posted no semi’s for a reason. THEY CAN’T MAKE THE TURNS.
Expect long delays at Peace and Gurler then again at Gurler and 23. Only 1 truck at a time can make those turns and all cars must stay back 60 feet when a truck needs to turn.

Wouldn’t it be nice if this and the S. 1st street road work could wait until after school closes. Just saying….
