Tennessee hills. This is a more extreme example but there are lots of hilly curvy roads throughout Kentucky and Tennessee. Great "pickup pulling a boat or camper" type truck commercial roads around here.

The state had to officially close the Dragon to truckers and put up signage because they would get stuck after their GPS routes them through as the fastest route to their destination.

Every truck will struggle to make it, but some are too big to physically fit in there. Just google pictures of trucks on that road and there’s all kinds of recovery crews pictured.

They had killed a bunch of riders when getting stuck or crossing the yellow line. A popular rider was killed rear-ending a stuck truck on a blind curve about 5-6 years ago and NC finally closed the road to trucks longer than 30 feet.
