    I think this is easily solved with increased fees on trucking, which is something we should be doing anyway since heavy vehicles are responsible for almost all of the wear and tear in the roads. Right now they don’t pay their fair share of the damage they cause.

      Maybe but such companies are also very good at lobbying so it’s not “easily fixable”

        True. Politically this would be tough but if we’re restricting private automobiles we’re already in magical Christmasland to some extent.
