IIRC 7% is the steepest an interstate can be, and still get federal funding. ALtho for short sections, 8% is permited. Generally speaking, they seem to try to keep them to less than 6%.
I've never had issues with interstates.....local roads, like Queen Anne ave going north of FLorentia.....nice little 24% road to drop off or try to go up! Garfield on the east side has a block that is over 20% also. Those little short jaunts can kill you. OR the client that had a 33% grade driveway for 100 yds or so. You could get down it to the house, but not always BACK UP to the road. Of course, you could put a barge up to the dock, drive the rig on the barge, they could let you off at the nearest boat ramps some 4 miles away.........
