Menasha, Wisconsin Leaf Collection Trucks Pulled For Visibility Issue
Leaf collection trucks have had to be taken out of service in Menasha, Wisconsin and nearby areas, but officials from the State Patrol and the city have devised a way to correct a potential safety issue. Because the trucks use vacuum tubes on the front of the vehicles to collect the leaves, it was determined that they actually are in breach of state law due to the potential for the component to compromise the vision of the driver. Now, though, a hinge that would move the component out of the way has been created and awaits approval from the Transportation Department.
