CITY OF TEMPE ARIZONA IS FORCING VEHICLE OWNERS TO REDUCE THE OVERALL LENGTH OF THEIR VEHICLE (21 FEET) TO PARK AT THEIR HOMES. THE MOST ECONOMICAL WAY TO COMPLY IS TO CHOP IN THE MIDDLE TO KEEP THE TOW ARRANGEMENT WHICH WEAKENS THE STRENGTH AND INTEGRITY OF THE METAL CAUSING A HAZARD FOR THE PUBLIC.
