Passing a ''all trucks must stop'' brake check area

Logan i know you know this one. Us219 north coming into ridgeway, pa. If ya dont stop and miss the truck route, its gonna be bad. The tr is a 6% i believe and the car part is 10% with a very sharp turn at the bottom. And your right, its a white sign, black letters for any trucks over 26k in pa.

 

Hey now. Don't blame us all for the Mcdonald's drive-thru

 

There's an idea!

Put a drive thru at the top of each hill....trucks must "purchase" their release to go back to the highway!

You should consider a new career in "investment money managing"!

 

Ya I know where ya mean dirty, I used to run 219 alot up to st. marys when I hauled scrap.

I heard ya lobes, I was just taking a little stab at you buckets, I liked running a bucket but I like being paid hourly more!

I've seen the cop sitting on rt 28 north from kittanning to new Bethlehem pa going down hogback hill there's a stop that guys like to "forget".

 

Don't wizz at one in NC. They actually have signs up for that at the brake check areas.
It is against the law to urinate on state property...That is what the signs say..

 

Just walk out on the roadway, straddle the double yellows, and create your own yellow puddle on the Interstate! Federal Land!

 

First, there's a big difference in signage. White with black letters/outline is regulatory and carries the full weight of law behind it. If it's in white/black, you must obey it. Left lane, speed limit, trucks must stop, left lane for passing only, etc. It's law. Might be overlooked a lot, but it's law.

Yellow/black is advisory. Curve speeds, etc. Advising of possible obstructions, problems, etc up ahead. Curves, hills, pedestrians, animals, vehicles, intersections, etc.

Green is route information, and blue is services/tourist information. Brown is park information. Purple (though still rare) is toll road informational (Texas has these now around the 8 Beltway, but they're still new to the regulations).

In some states, like Pennsylvania, trucks are required to remove themselves from the travel lane and now have their own lane with either a stop sign or stop light they must obey. Failing to stop there, or to exit there, is failure to yield. One of the biggest non-accident-related citations you can get sober.

And yes, the signs for hills are there for the days before jakes, better brakes of modern trucks, etc. But, it's still law. So, we have to follow it. Just like going empty down 70 into Denver. I could run that in high gear with a jake brake and have no problems when I'm empty. But, it's a blanket rule, so it must be followed.

Now, if the sign's yellow, blue, or green, I fly right on by.

 

Sometimes it helps to read the entire thread....before repeating what has already been posted!

 

`If you see a sign that says ALL TRUCKS MUST STOP then u better do it.They probably have camaras all over that check station.

 

The stop before Philipsburg on 350 is another. The local likes to sit in the cemetary and get guys doing the rolling stop.
I know what you mean about the hourly thing. I have been looking for an hourly job. Maybe hauling water for the wells. Just need something that pays as well as my current job.
