re: #312 Feline Fearless Leader

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.

They’re an excellent idea. What gets me is the “no parking” signs on at least some of them. Who says ‘Oh look, a runaway truck ramp. Shall we spread out the blanket and picnic here?’
