The only reason the keystone is given special significance is that it needed to be adequately large and in that particular trapezoidal shape. Each and every block here is the same, so it loses its significance.
Of course. It's not meant for a truck. But like I said to some other guy here, you could basically use a bigger truck to make a tunnel that lets smaller ones through 😅
