Sydney Tunnels Have Giant Water Holograms

SFOGuysays...

The trucking guy, talking about how the apparent problem is that tunnels and bridges get built "without consultation with the industry" is just too funny.

Pretty much you'd imagine, but what strikes me is what should strike that truck's tires after the 1 or 2 warnings-Pop-up tire-poppers about render-dead-stopped distance from the tunnel's next repair shut-down.
Pop the sleepy trucker's go-circles (or hoist his shit up hydraulically w/piton) before the rainy, non-deterrent.
The rain-stop sign only works if he hits his brakes, right?

Not so much a hologram. "Water curtain projection" would be more accurate. Seems pretty effective!

Pop-up spike strips would be good, but I'd put them *after* the water stop sign projection (which would be moved out a bit). They already had to stop traffic for 20+ minutes to clear road so the dude could back up and get his truck out. Backing up a semi is hard, particularly if you've got double trailers (triples are near impossible unless you've got savant-like reversing talent).

If they popped his tires, add hours onto that to replace probably 10+ tires if he gets the whole semi tractor over the spike strip. However, even that is still better than letting the dumbass drive into the tunnel at full steam and causing massive damage.
