    In Switzerland we have Sand-Strips every so often for exactly that reason. If a Truck loses its Breaks it can drive into these Sand-Strips and it will safely and “gently” be stopped.

        Yes, I’m not sure if the truck finds the stop so gentle but the driver (and surrounding traffic) at least is able to walk away if their brakes fail.

      We have those in the US as well but the are filled with gravel I believe so the truck an get stuck in it to slow down even more but only in mountain areas do we have them.
