“It’s pretty rare; high winds is the big reason to do it,” said Brian Newbacher, public information officer.
Newbacher said about 140,000 total vehicles travel the turnpike daily.
The ban applies to triple-trailer commercial vehicles and box-type, double-trailer commercial vehicles longer than 90 feet.
Also not being allowed on the western end of the turnpike are mobile home trailers, boat and horse trailers and high-profile campers.
