103 A.  How is the Auto-Spike system designed to facilitate sliding on the road surface?

A. The accordion frame system is designed to slide on a road surface, and open up the frame in an extended position.

B.  The bottom side of the base part of each section is slick and helps the system slide open.

C.  Toward the post portions of the strip and base is a limit stop to prevent the system from over extending, and possibly falling on its side as with lesser designs.
