Yes, there are more trucks on Alabama roadways than passenger cars.
A Washington Post story details when and how "trucks" took over from "cars" as the most popular form of vehicle.
And Alabama was ahead of the curve....."trucks" passed "cars" in Alabama 25 years ago.
One point made in that Post article: roads are more dangerous now for pedestrians and bicyclists:
"Nearly 7,400 pedestrians were killed in 2021, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the highest figure in four decades, and preliminary estimates from the Governors Highway Safety Association show 2022 could be even worse."HERE's the full Post story (paywall).
