Runaway Truck Ramps

This barrier can save many lives if a truck's brakes fail. A runaway truck ramp is a specially designed safety feature located on steep downhill roads to help drivers of heavy vehicles, such as trucks, safely stop if their brakes fail. These ramps are typically found in areas with long or steep descents, where the risk of overheating or brake failure is higher.
