Engine braking

I used to see the signs as well coming into Sacramento on I5. I looked this up now as I was curious if those signs and codes are enforceable or just polite suggestions.

Seems like it’s a coin toss.

I personally was never bothered even when I lived right above I-80 in Reno. You hear it for sure but it’s usually just a short burst as the truck slows for something.

Here is the sound.

Not at all what I thought the sound was. Yeah, that's pretty annoying.

Yep, the Jake brake. I read up on how they work. It's pretty interesting
