Thought I would share this and suggest all member that have the misfortune to frequent the Chicago Skyway carry a copy with them. Start from the bottom and read up.
From the Chicago Skyway Authority:
Here you go, these are the revised classifications for your stated cycles below:
1) 2.50
2) 2.50
3) 2.50
4) 5.10 (4am-8pm) 3.60 (8pm-4am)
5) 6.80 (4am-8pm) 4.80 (8pm-4am)
6) 5.10 (4am-8pm) 3.60 (8pm-4am)
7) 6.80 (4am-8pm) 4.80 (8pm-4am)
8) 5.10 (4am-8pm) 3.60 (8pm-4am)
9) 6.80 (4am-8pm) 4.80 (8pm-4am)
We revised these as we had an incident 2 weeks ago regarding a sidecar. It was the first known occurrence of a sidecar on our bridge and after review I decided that with such low occurrences of this that a change would be in the best interest to our users with no loses of revenue. I hope this helps and thank you for writing me.
