I lived in San Francisco for 6 years and at least once every few months there would be a semi truck full of goods or furniture trying to navigate the crazy steep twisty streets. I have seen a dozen or so of these monsters high-centered on a street top transition – having to get lifted off at great expense I’m sure.
What if large dense cities like this had a hub outside of town where big trucks could off-load their cargo to smaller trucks that can dart in and out of the city and deliver easier/faster?
What if they were electric? or hybrid?
I saw this idea on an article about an uber-green city being planned in China (AFTER I had the idea, ahem). I don’t think the city ever got built.
