- Regulators: MTO and OPP have pulled poorly maintained and unsafe gravel trucks off roads in our communities
- Road safety: high speed of gravel trucks and poor driving habits of some drivers
- Increased traffic: increased traffic and congestion on local roads and highways
- Designated routes: deviation from designated haul routes
- Road damage: increased wear and damage to roads from heavy trucks
- Additional lights: need for large lighted stop signs, flashing overhead lights/stoplights and lighted intersections
- Inappropriate intersections: many intersections are not upgraded and/or designated for turning gravel trucks
- Necessary road changes:
- future relocation and redesign of roads and highways in the area
- loss in stability of land, possibility of sink holes on nearby roads and lands
- Icing of roads: increased icing of roads in the fall and winter from evaporation, condensation and moisture in the air rising from pit/quarry ponds and lakes
