Reflective Mirrored Coatings for Freeway Tunnel Blind Corners

Highway tunnel accidents can be catastrophic, as a major tunnel fire consumes oxygen very quickly and anyone trapped inside is quickly killed. There have been numerous cases where simple accidents or even larger collisions involving multiple cars or trucks have caused chaos and deaths. At some point the fires get so big that firefighters can't even get into the tunnel, it goes without saying that the chances of survival hit 0% pretty quickly.

Not long ago, a massive 30 truck crash in a blind tunnel on I-5 in California claimed 10 lives. Trucks entering the tunnel, which has a slight curve, could not see the wreck in front of them, and as they rounded the curve, they saw their fierce and impending doom. Even once stopped, more trucks coming from behind continued to hit them one after another.

The fire was so hot that it burned all the trucks in hardened pools of metal and aluminum.

The fire lasted almost 12 hours. The inside of the tunnel, all the concrete walls and the base also melted, exposing nothing but soot-laden earth - the tunnel was on the brink of collapse. After the fire was finally put out and the massive burned debris removed, engineers secured special scaffolding structures to hold the tunnel in place.

The question now being posed by the online Think Tank is, could such an accumulation of multiple cars or trucks be prevented? We believe that yes, it is possible to put safeguards to improve security risks. So what is the answer?

Well, we think the answer for traffic safety in blind tunnels is to have an alert system that warns those entering of the blockade using sonar sensors. In addition, we recommend the use of reflective coatings on the tunnel side walls, which act as mirrors, so that those who enter can see what lies ahead and the flashing lights, fires, brake lights will be reflected throughout the tunnel. The whole wall doesn't need a Dielectric mirror maybe just a strip about 3-4 feet tall along the inside edge on the outside of the curve is all.

A tarot card may appear to encourage you to act now, while the positive energy flows. A seeker may realize that he needs to take a break from everything. Sometimes all the tools are within reach, but totally forgotten or ignored. Darkness can cover the way, this is surely worth paying attention to.

A tarot image can make your head spin as it reflects to you that you have the world in the palm of your hands.
