Major accidents: We experienced this a few days ago, when a fuel tanker overturned close to the bridge over the Susquehanna River on I95. The subsequent ‘Tailback”, as I observed while travelling South on Route 40 was 17 miles long. There were thousands of goods vehicles, trucks, buses, and personal vehicles standing still, waiting for the line to move forwards, all spewing noxious gasses and compounds into the atmosphere. Weather situations: When the weather really clamps down, don’t allow that line to build, let the people get home safely, without the floods, ice or snow increasing as you hold them at the tolls. Either of these problems can add considerably to the destruction of our environment via Global Warming, and a considerable waste of expensive fuel. This is an old survey (2002), which demonstrates the emissions of trucks while idling: www.eere.energy.gov/vehiclesandfuels/pdfs/.../2002_deer_lewis.pdf
