Chicane at the beginning of the road.

Right? Why are the folks in that article acting like this problem requires some complex, multi-pronged approach. Just put a tight turn in the road before the Notch, and stick an exit with some signage at the point that trucks will fail. If the trucks can't get onto the road, they can't get stuck in the Notch.

If they don’t want to lose out on the fine profits then go ahead and make it so that if you’ve made it that far (ie ignored that many signs) you still get a ticket.

The fines so small it’s not even profit. Make it a 5 figure fine and then you’ll see results

Multiple in parallel, so more than one truck can get stuck at once.

I like the way you think.

I support the JOBs the notch provides.

When people want to take away our Notches, we should instead ask: "How can we build more notches?"

FOUR MORE NOTCHES!

Hopefully, after a day or so, someone send a screenshot of this comment to "the officials."

Simple, yet effective.

You are doing some huge assuming thinking that this place will drum up more than a room temperature iq response.

Identical to the hairiest turn. If you can do it once, you can do it twice. And if you can't, we've at least got you at the bottom of the hill

Are there any emergency vehicles that might need to get by that a chicane would not allow?

Make the chicane a closed gate.

What does that mean?

If the concern is that emergency vehicles might need to get up the road but the chicane would block them, the chicane itself could be a closed gate. If emergency services need to get through, they would be able to open the gate and get their vehicles through the chicane. If a truck wanted to get through, though, the gate would be closed and they would have to be able to make the turn around the chicane.

Ok that makes sense. Chicane is a new term for me so I’m still trying to figure out exactly how it would work in the notch situation. And I’m not even sure if what I asked about is a legit problem lol. Just curious

In my head I imagined the chicane being made of fairly easy to move barriers but the gate idea is great
