Emergency Runaway Ramps and Mandatory Brake Check Areas.

Suggest you call each state,,Colorado,,calif,,OR,Wash have them, ,, In some countries they are called "arrestor beds"

 

I've seen them. But never used one.

 

Right. Because I'm going to search my GPS for the nearest runaway truck ramp when I'm headed downhill and my brakes fade away...

Seriously though, why would someone want a POI file for those? Those things are always well identified with regulatory and advisory signs when you're on a route that has them.

 

No, but you'll know they're there before you start descending in case zhitz

 

You can set the distance and sound to let you know they are ahead of you... Not everyone is familiar with all of the roads and where they are. Esp, Monteagle, they are on the left.

 

I run mostly at night and can't usually use a break check area because a bunch of a-holes are parked there for 10hr breaks. I guess the OP wants to be able to plan to park overnight at a break check area by making this POI. That is the only reason I can see why. The are usually well marked a few mile out and same for the runaway ramps.

 

wow if you cant see a brake check area or escape ramp you don't need a poi you need some freaking glasses.

 

A POI is just that, a points of interest. This custom POI is strictly in the interest of safety, not a spot to park at.

POI's are build for many reasons.

Everyone has something to say, but no one is helping the op out..

 

Sorry I can't give you the mm, but just east of Monteagle, TN, I-24. As previously mentioned, the runaway ramps are on the left. The mandatory brake check area is on the right.
