Here on the left coast, we have Interstate 5, which runs from the Mexican border all the way north to the Canadian border. Not far from me is a section called the “Grapevine” which has an approx. 10 - 11 mile downgrade of 6 - 8%.

Many 10’s of thousands of trucks per day come down this hill. They are required to run no more than 35 mph due to the steepness. There are truck escape ramps also.

It would sure be nice if someone could capture the energy required to keep these trucks going slow down this hill.
