"In front of more than 250 people, possibly the largest audience in recent history, the controversial Austin Quarry near the intersection of highways 41 and 145 was approved by the Madera County Board of Supervisors in a 3-2 vote Monday evening, with a lawsuit all but guaranteed."

I suspect this might mean more truck traffic in this region.

Do climbers get a transponder for their cars so that the quarry trucks know when to pull to the side of the road when we are headed for the climbs?

Transponder would be ideal.
