The large vehicles he's referring to are industrial large vehicles. Which require special licensing. Even the big ass pickup truck they showed could make the turn with no issues at all going at a reasonable speed.

    Fair point. Just might not be great adding those things near turns. Or what are they even for?

    They are supposed to be near turns and intersections. That’s where cars mix with pedestrians, and shrinking the road Menes then go slower.

    Not every truck a municipality's public works department uses is this size. You don't need special licensing to drive a dual wheel F350 long bed, and I'd wager that might be a problem to turn that corner depending on what it has in it. If they need to replace signs, or even just do road work, they need to be able to turn that corner. I have a lot of questions about this.

    What happens when it's an ambulance (a lot of those are built on f450 chassis and don't require a CDL).
