It’s not uncommon to see debris on the road and its shoulders. Some of it, such as chunks of tire tread, often come from commercial trucks. However, the driving public contribute to the problem when they carry cargo on top of their vehicles or in trailers. If these items were properly secured, road debris wouldn’t be as big a problem that it currently is. Mattresses held on the tops of cars by a few bungee cords, overloaded pickup trucks with open tailgates, or trailers filled with loose items are examples of people unwilling to take.
