  Not really. Along most major roads, if trees are close enough to even potentially be a problem, they will be trimmed by road crews.

  It’s not because they get hit by trucks, it’s because they’re deliberately trimmed back to keep the road clear.

    The result is the same and it’s not because the trees are shy.

    on the route of my bus route in HS you could see that the shape of the trees were exactly the shape of the busses, so either it was the busses trimming the trees or a very impressive lumberjack showing off for no benefit at all

      Ah the age old question, which came first, the lumberjack or the buses?

    They dont get trimmed enough and usually get “trimmed” by passing tractor trailers.

  So trees have evolved truck-sensing organs in the span of mere decades? Unbelievable!

    I know you’re joking but it’s really survival of the fittest.

    Branches that are too low and get hit by trucks don’t grow very far into the road.
