I feel bad replying to a person that was friends with people who died on this highway, but banning trucks wont keep car drivers from operating ipods on the same road. Trucks have better safety records than cars.

I agree with you. If you eliminate highway 8 as a semi route then they will all be forced to come in through highway 1/16 ave, which would create a traffic nightmare not only on those roads, but on Sarcee Tr. Which would be made worse by the massive hill on Sarcee Southbound. I almost think that having semi-traffic on highway 8 makes it safer because it slows the general speed of traffic down. Instead of focusing on something that isn't an issue other than slowing down traffic, focus on texting and driving. If those kids hadn't been distracted they would probably still be walking this earth. 99% of my friends (who are in the same demographic) are guilty of some part of distracted driving whether it is texting or changing a song on their ipod.
