If the situation is as you stated, then cyclists will also hear a vehicle cross the rumble strips behind them. Depending on how far behind them the vehicle wanders perhaps they can hit the ditch and avoid carnage.
Keep in mind that rumble strips wont wake anyone up from sleeping or sober them up. If they do wake up God only knows how they will react. Someone who is conscious and looking at their phone or digging under the seat might be able to react properly.
I'm not looking for a debate on the pros and cons of rumble strips -- my post is just a followup to the death of a cyclist and what is being done to make that stretch of highway safer for other cyclists.
