Public Education - Safety Brochures
HTA offers the following brochures to educate everyone about proper safe driving techniques and the hazards to look out for while driving on the highway: |

Sharing the Highway with Large Vehicles |
|
|
On a level highway, it takes three to five seconds longer to pass a truck, bus or tractor-trailer.
If you're following, or traveling next to a large vehicle, stay out of the "blind spots" that are to the rear, left side and especially on the right side of the vehicle.
Pay close attention to turn signals on buses, trucks and tractor-trailers.
