Since
the four-wheel drive route along N.C. 12 on Pea Island opened, a number of
vehicles have gotten stuck in the sand and required a tow truck to get them
out. Sunday alone, 49 vehicles had to be towed. This not only causes delays for
the other vehicles using the route, but it also damages the makeshift road.
To
help protect access and make traffic flow more efficiently, NCDOT is no longer
allowing any vehicle larger than a one-ton truck to use the route. In addition,
trucks with trailers are not permitted.
