US 95 near Lewiston, Idaho. I'm guessing some trucker at some point wrecked because they were afraid of getting fined.

Here's a sign for a 10% grade just off I-84 in Corbett, OR:

A map posted on WA 221 right before a major downhill section showing the nearest runaway truck ramp:

It's been a dozen years since I took this photo, but I think it's westbound AZ-68 in Bullhead City.

Here's a Quebec downhill sign to add to the mix. This was somewhere near A-85 in southeastern Quebec.

Surprised to see that no one has mentioned the "Truckers: You Are Not Down Yet"  signs in Colorado, coming into Denver from the west on I-70.

Similar to the one I posted back at the beginning of this thread, here's a Google Street View link to another "map-style" sign in Pennsylvania with a truck pull-out and stop sign where they are to check the brakes. This is on northbound US-219 approaching Ridgway. If you've never been there, or if you've never seen pictures, this might be an interesting one to click through the Street View. There is a separate one-way truck route just to the north with a "NO CARS" sign. The issue is that there is a very steep descent into Ridgway and the road turns to the left right at the bottom of the long descent after passing several houses. Too much risk of a severe truck accident causing major property damage.

This is also an example of BBSs–white-on-black signs just north of the location the link shows.
"You know, you never have a guaranteed spot until you have a spot guaranteed."
—Olaf Kolzig, as quoted in the Washington Times on March 28, 2003,
commenting on the Capitals clinching a playoff spot.

"That sounded stupid, didn't it?"
—Kolzig, to the same reporter a few seconds later.

there's also a 'don't be fooled' sign at a point where the grade flattens for a mile or two

that road is such an awesome roller-coaster..

.. unless you're barely hanging onto it, then it gets real.

It says no cars, but from what I remember from going on this road (in a car), most traffic on that road are cars. Not much they can really do, either.
I build roads on Minecraft. Like, really good roads.
Interstates traveled:
4/5/10*/11**/12**/15/25*/29*/35(E/W[TX])/40*/44**/49(LA**)/55*/64**/65/66*/70°/71*76(PA*,CO*)/78*°/80*/95°/99(PA**,NY**)

*/** indicates a terminus/termini being traveled
° Indicates a gap (I.E Breezwood, PA.)

more room plz
