garbage trucks

164 viewsEngineeringOther

I was driving today and stopped at a stop sign waiting for a garbage truck to pass, but then it turned on its blinker and turned right. I noticed that both the passenger AND driver side had steering wheels and both were turning their steering wheels. How does that work???

From my understanding, the duel steering and duel peddles are for specific circumstances like one way streets and such.

Our garbage trucks in Australia are all like this per standard. I assume it’s so the driver can change seats and have better visibility on the other side when it’s necessary.
