Plus: What’s going on with the $1.1 billion grant to clean up trash and trim trees?
Q: My husband and I travel Highway 17 frequently and we’ve noticed a tremendous amount of car debris in the roadway edges and along the mountainsides. With the recent rains, trim pieces, bumpers, tire and wheel pieces have appeared in the drainage areas, adding to the runoff debris that is causing flooding.
We’re fully aware that crashes and breakdowns need to be cleared as quickly as possible, but removing the debris should be part of the process.Darlene Brannen, San Jose A: Highway 17 often gets ignored, primarily because of how dangerous this road already is. It would be risky for tow truck drivers and CHP to pull off onto the narrow shoulder to try to pick up post-collision debris. To retrieve all debris following a crash likely requires multiple vehicles and closing down a lane temporarily.
Q: I was wondering if there is a law or rule that prohibits tow truck drivers from taking ALL the car parts off the highway when picking up a car after a collision. I have repeatedly seen whole bumpers, fenders and other car parts left behind lying on the freeways. It’s unsightly and very DANGEROUS!Q: What happened to the $1.1 billion grant Gov.
