Good news for Tail Of The Dragon ( Deals Gap ) riders!

TN is banning tractor trailers on US 129! Signs are going up in mid-January.

I heard about this on the Ohio Riders forum.

New restrictions limit tractor-trailer traffic on US 129 "The Dragon"

I used to live in Kingsport, TN - not too terribly far from the northern end of the Dragon. But I wasn't riding then and had not heard of the Dragon.

Lot of local riders to me from different groups have expressed outright joy at this. Rolling up on an 18 wheeler stuck in a switchback is a ride ruiner..
