Controversial Bills on Truck Safety and Supply Chain Strengthening Approved by T&I Committee.
TL;DR Summary
A bill that would restrict trucks weighing 10,000 pounds or more to the right lane on all two-lane highways in New Jersey is being opposed by trucking groups who argue that it would create a "wall of trucks" and compromise safety. The bill's sponsors and opponents both cite safety as their main concern. The bill would also double penalties for those who use the left lane on any highway.
