Why not just put (sturdy) top decks on the freeways?

I hold my breath...

I don't think that will work until the help arrived.

I haven't heard the name Beatty, Nevada in a long time. I used to go there and drop off hazardous waste at a site that sealed and buried the waste. I used to go there about twice to three times a month from the Bay Area/San Jose area. There was a little restaurant in town I used to eat at and a camp site outside of Beatty where I used to park and sleep. It's a long and lonely drive up from I-15 unless you stop at the casino at the state line. Thanks for being back good memories. AP

Driving in L.A. is a nightmare. The exit lanes are not well marked. When you finally reach your exit, you realize that you have to exit left instead of right (or vice versa) and must cross 6 lanes of speeding traffic which is impossible. Then you have to drive to San Diego before you can turn around. By then, you've been routed to Palm Springs. Periodically you exit and ask somebody directions. Nobody knows where anything is. Most of them don't speak English and just arrived from the Island Nation of Zaza or some other place you never heard of. Finally you conclude that you can't get wherever it was you were planning to go; so you just drive out into the desert somewhere, stop the car, and see if you can recover.
