| Sec. 1. Escape ramp to be built on Route 16. Resolved: That the Department |
| of Transportation shall construct a truck escape ramp on the |
| downgrade on westbound Route 16 from Moscow to Bingham |
| approaching Route 201. For purposes of this resolve, a "truck |
| escape ramp" is a ramp the purpose of which is to slow and stop |
| away from the main stream of traffic those vehicles that are out |
| of control due to a loss of braking ability. The department |
| shall determine the best location for the truck escape ramp. In |
| designing the truck escape ramp, the department shall consider |
| using a 10% uphill grade with a stone bed. The department shall |
| post signs informing vehicle operators of the presence of the |
| truck escape ramp and the maximum safe speeds for vehicles on the |
| downgrade based upon the weights of vehicles. |
