What is a Runaway Truck Ramp?

[OClayton]

Runaway Truck Ramp meaning introduction: Runaway truck ramps are generally set up on long downhill sections of highways to prevent vehicles from losing control. They consist of a steep slope usually covered with thick gravel to help slow down vehicles. A runaway truck ramp is essentially a large net built outside the ramp that can catch drivers or vehicle fronts that might otherwise fly off, reducing the incidence of severe accidents. Below are detailed explanations of related content: 1. Entrance and exit ramps: These are auxiliary connecting sections for entering and exiting main roads, which can be "at-grade ramps" or "interchange ramps." They are major components of road interchanges; 2. Up and down ramps: These are auxiliary connecting slopes for entering and exiting elevated roads, usually "interchange ramps." Note: Both of the above (items 1 and 2) typically incorporate collector-distributor road designs; 3. Direct ramp: Places the right-turn lane on the right side; 4. Indirect ramp: Places the left-turn lane on the right side, using a loop to connect to other roads; 5. Semi-direct ramp: Similar to an indirect ramp but uses a longer, more undulating elevated road instead of a loop as the connecting ramp.
