What Is a Highway Escape Ramp and What Is Its Purpose?A highway escape ramp is a specially designed lane or path that helps heavy vehicles safely stop in case of brake failure. These ramps are usually located at the end of steep downhill sections on highways.
Functions of an Escape Ramp:
1. Safe Stopping for Brake Failures: Trucks or buses that experience brake failure can enter the escape ramp to gradually slow down and stop safely.
2. Prevents Accidents: Escape ramps help out-of-control vehicles stop without crashing into other road users.
3. Designed with Special Materials: These ramps often contain loose gravel, sand, or barrier systems to absorb the vehicle’s speed and force.
Who Uses It?
Drivers of heavy vehicles experiencing brake failure
Drivers who lose control at high speeds (in emergency situations)
Escape ramps play a crucial role in highway safety and should only be used in emergencies.
