Some places even have specific areas marked for cars to pull off in case of accidents.


And most of our mountain highways have cutoffs for runaway vehicles. Like on the down grade coming off Wolf Creek Pass. I really, really don't ever want to find out what lies at the end of those cutoffs. Your vehicle just might end up being an aircraft navigational landmark for years to come.

@roger,
Most of those I have seen are usually loose sand. The vehicle is slowed down by becoming bogged down in the sand.

In Oz we have some great raodsigns
SIGN 1: CYCLISTS USE LEFT SHOULDER.

...what for? to slow down?... theres gonna be blood.

SIGN 2. TREEES CLOSE TO ROAD.
...I would have thought that was self evident.

@parados,
I've been told that before. I think I would like to check it out before using one, though. Just not sure how to do that.
