re: #307 GeneJockey

What used to freak me out on 30 was the signs “Runaway Truck Road, 1/2 mile ahead”. Immediately I pictured the psychotic trucker from “Duel”.

They put those in after a truck lost its brakes and demolished some buildings in the town at the bottom of the hill. Pittsburgh itself put one in on a hill after a runaway truck barreled through the Fort Pitt tunnel and into the downtown area in the late 60s. Pretty standard now in a lot of places.
