re: #331 calochortus

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?’

The runaway ramps I’ve seen on I-24 going over Monteagle Mountain look to be filled deep with at least a couple of feet of pea gravel, for added drag. You pull a car or light truck in there too far, you’ll need a wrecker to pull you out.
