increase on Ashcake Road and Sliding Hill Road. Hanover highways are not equipped to handled 18=-wheelers speeding on current roads. Every time I have to travel in any of these areas, multiple oversized dump trucks are flying across Route 1 from ashcake Road to beat the yellow light, traveling close – four feet apart – and nothing is ever done. We have no “law enforcement” to attempt to control this action. On Sliding Hill Road, every day you are impacted 10 or more times. I had to avoid these 18-wheelers. The last one was a wrecker hauling an 18-wheeler. I was in the left lane and had a big pickup truck about four feet behind me. The tow truck pulling the tractor-trailer was in the right lane, and all of a sudden he speeds up and then about a foot ahead of me crosses into my lane with no warning and goes through the yellow light at Sliding Hill Road and Atlee Road. Then later he would be seen turning left off Sliding Hill Road to a business. This area is hazardous for trucking. They do not care of the safety of other motorists. In the same general area, you have a business that pulls multiple trailers and then there’s another company. Both are on time schedules; they have to get to Point A to Point B during a specific time or they lose money. Today’s truckers are not what I grew up with. Most get the CDL license within 30 days
– that’s not enough training. Most coming to the area do not now the area. Recently, a trucker on Route 1 was turning on to Sliding Hill Road. He was not on his cell phone, but was sifting through papers looking for something – maybe the route he was to take. Most truckers coming to the area are time-related – under current traffic flow. They meet with delays, frustrations, which only add to the distractions, following and cutting off other vehicles. All to no surprise; this is life in Hanover. Then back to Route 1/ Washington Highway. There’s even more activity – logging off more and more land; they’re just contributing to what some are calling global warming. They’d rather log off more land, which destroys vegetation, badly-needed to help maintain climate. We should at least keep that in mind. If you have to log off land, at least let the Arbor Day Foundation remove what trees they can to replant in a new area. We need wood for multiple usages. We were blessed this year; we did not get the normal winter we’ve had in the past. Take a moment to reflect and just imagine how things could have/would have been. We need someone to represent the people of Hanover – not just Maloney’s agenda. Just this week it was announced that Wegmans was approved. If that’s how you are going to play ball, then the workers they are supposed to hire better come from the county and 90 percent should be veterans. Blanche Roberts Hanover
