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.

I think they should use a retarder to avoid the failure of their normal brake system. It saves lives and reduces the wear on brakes and tires

Have a few of these in Colorado, now all we need is tourists to NOT park in the runaway shoulder because โ€œneed to take pretty picturesโ€. Canโ€™t tell you how many folks from out of state I told to get the hell out of there. If only they knew how much danger they were in.

What maintenance is being neglected that this is needed?? It seems like this would have little to no use if companies/owners kept their tractor trailers in good working condition.
