Trucks & Bikes
Cycling alongside trucks is not comfortable –
cyclists are not very visible to truck drivers; trucks
take a large space –ideally, bike facilities should
have a separation from trucks.
Trucks and Pedestrians
▪Trucks need wide spaces to turn, while
pedestrians need shorter crossing distances.
When accommodating one, we make it more
challenging for the other.

Maps identify where to expect to see higher truck traffic, based on data collected
every other year. Some may be through traffic, while others may be to and from

SERVICE ⚫ENVIRONMENT ⚫ECONOMY ⚫CHARACTER ⚫SUSTAINABILITY ⚫WELLNESS ⚫CELEBRATION
Freight is important to the local and regional economy.
Auburn contains truck routes where most of the truck traffic is expected.
Auburn created a truck parking program to help local independent drivers park in
designated areas.
Heavy truck traffic damages the roadways much faster than car traffic.
Trucks need more space to turn than cars and more height clearance.
Meeting trucks needs means not meeting other mode needs in some locations;
decisions regarding where trucks take priority will be needed.
Roadways for heavy truck traffic are very costly to build and maintain, and funding
available is limited.

COMPREHENSIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN FREIGHT POLICIES
OBJECTIVE: FREIGHT MOVEMENTS
To facilitate the movements of freight and goods through Auburn with minimal adverse traffic and other
environmental impacts.
Freight-01: The movement of freight and goods is recognized as an important component of Auburn’s
transportation system.
Freight-02: The movement of freight and goods that serve largely national, state, or regional needs
should take place in such a way so that the impacts on the local transportation system are minimized.
These movements should take place primarily on state highways, interstates, or on grade-separated rail
corridors in order to minimize the local impacts.
Freight-03: Seek public and private partners to leverage funds for freight improvement projects and
associated mitigation.
Freight-04: Continue to work with the Freight Mobility Roundtable, Freight Action Strategy Team (FAST),
FMSIB, and other local and regional groups to ensure regional needs are met and local impacts are
mitigated.
Freight-05: All through truck trips and the majority of local trips shall take place on designated truck
