Will SkyTran interfere with trees and power lines?
The town or SkyTran system will need to prune trees near the guideways, just as utility companies prune trees near their lines. A large branch falling directly on a vehicle would be dangerous, just as it would be falling on a car, but because SkyTran vehicles hang below the guideways, a branch falling on the track will usually roll right off it instead of lying there as an obstacle to vehicles coming by later as it would on a highway.
