hold up the flow of traffic Then the highway narrows in again at the top of the hill Residents who live near this spot say there is a continual honking of horns and squealing of brakes as the car drivers will not stow down to let the trucks back Into the traffic These so- called Improvements to the highway Just seem to shift the hazards from one spot to another Residents hope that traffic
