Trucks without brakes | Runaway truck ramp

A runaway truck ramp is a traffic device that enables vehicles which are having braking problems to safely stop. It is typically a long, sand- or gravel-filled lane connected to a steep downhill grade section of a main road, and is designed to accommodate large trucks or buses. The ramp allows a moving vehicle's kinetic energy to be dissipated gradually in a controlled and relatively harmless way, helping the operator to stop it safely without a violent crash.

Imagine being in an emergency where you have no brakes, see an emergency runaway lane and be relieved, only to see there's already someone in it.

This needs a sign that says “One Emergency at a Time Please” 😂😂

I have often wondered how effective these sand banks are and now I see that they function very well. Thanks for this video.

On a motorway back in the 80's going on holiday, I remember my dad calmly saying the brakes had failed on our VW fastback. He managed to get it neatly parked at a service station without incident, and we had to let the overheating brake pads cool down before we could carry on to somewhere and get it looked at asap. Can't imagine the level of anxiousness when it happens to a truck driver.

Road crew: "So, what happened to your brakes?"

Truck Driver: "Brakes? Oh, my brakes are fine. This just looked fun!"

0:30 Blue barrels: Is that everything you've got? You get bonuspoints if you reach us...

Honestly a genius idea I bet it's saved many lives this runaway Lane should invest in the idea worldwide

God bless truckers for all they go through. I’ve seen this in person, twice and it’s frightening as hell.

As a retired truck driver, I can attest to the fear a driver feels when his brakes fail.Had that happen to me when the municipality I worked for decided I should use a truck with hydraulic brakes that been sitting for over a year.The brake lines had rotted to the point that the brake fluid literally started spewing out as I was making my way through a high traffic area.Thankfully I could gear the truck down to a stop.I was sweating pretty good by the time that drive ended.

The second truck was just offering moral support.

This needs to be a dot regulation in EVERY state, ESPECIALLY in heavy populated cities.

Okay so I really admire the engineering, but did anyone else notice the cuteness of the truck when it was being lifted? It looked like a giant puppy 😍

Great skill to the one that came after the one already in the pit. Drove around and dived in.

’This break lane is occupied at this moment. Please resort to a hard left turn straight out into the forest 🌳’

Sou caminhoneiro no Brasil, já vi umas pistas de escapes dessas no Paraná. Deveria ter no Brasil todo, mas infelizmente não tem. Isso salva muitas vidas

This saves so many lives. There was a recent tragedy on a highway near where I live. Truck armed against like 10 or 20 cars. Horrible thing. These ramps need to be everywhere.

[adeilson.oliveira]

This ramp is located in Brazil. Yes it is cheap to make and saved many lives, they are building more like this as this one was successful. Brazilian geography is full of hills and accidents like this are common, well I hope it becomes a "thing from the past".

"Brake lane is full. Please have an emergency somewhere else"

0:23 congrats to the trucker. He saved his life and probably saved the lives of others.

Какие же молодцы, мало того, что придумали подобные комплексы, так ещё и создали их!
