Do they still have the runaway truck ramps around Pittsburgh? I am sure they are in a lot of places but I remember them mainly from my many trips to visit relatives in Pittsburgh as a kid.
Yep I have a friend who thought one was an exit and drove into it and had to be towed out lol
I was going to ask if this is the burb where right of way is decided by the retail price of the car being driven but then I realized that really didn't narrow it down all that much.
I was behind a Tractor Trailer that had to bail out on one on I-68 once while driving out to visit Mrs 43 when she was in college. Pretty scary to see it happen.
Still better than what they gave you on the Pulaski Skyway in NJ.

On US -119 going into Punxsutawney is a nice steep hill. Right before you get into town is a runaway ramp( Essentially at the bottom of the hill is a bridge and then you were in town.). When I was younger we used to go camping up in the area and the one person in our group pulling a trailer had to use that ramp since their brakes gave out going down that hill.
And it sucked especially bad because they had to do it again EVERY DAYOn US -119 going into Punxsutawney is a nice steep hill.

@forty_three didn't you just love driving around this city?
If you learned how to drive in Pittsburgh I think you can drive anywhere.The other great Western PA tradition luckily very few exist anymore are the steel grate bridges. They were narrow and when cold and wet were essentially driving over an ice rink.
To get an idea of what I am talking about here is one that I used to drive over a lot.
@sbb122 I don't miss the old Hulton bridge in Oakmont, how/why more people didn't wreck there I will never know.
To top that Pittsburgh is a city with a bridge that connects to a bridge that connects to a bridge. I worked on the Island below, and it was a nightmare around rush hour (NOTE: that was before they re-did the traffic patterns. which still suck)

Finally Pittsburgh has a road made out of wood.

It is a great city <sarcasm> to learn how to drive a 5 speed. Mechanics made livings off of replacing clutches.
