Sounds Good. One idea, though, that might make the transition with the trucks easier- you might want to improve some connections to SR-11 as kind of a Truck route M-91 if all oversized loads get dumped off. It seems like it’s a great idea (and a sensible one at that) to keep oversized loads off of dangerous curves like the S curve, but it seems like they don’t have anywhere else to go. Just a friendly idea, though. I like your plans.

Oops- I guess I meant Alternative SR-11. (Hurricane) Sorry :3

That is a good idea, currently, oversized trucks can take the M-166 to Lockheed Blvd to M-66. Lockheed Blvd has an S-Bend similar to the M-91, but with a lower speed limit.
