    Just drove this last week! Even without snow, it's actually quite scary. It's downhill for so long that you easily pick up speed. If you're not paying attention you're suddenly going 130+ km/h downhill....can't imagine doing this in snow, in a semi! Hats off to you!!

    Yeah, it's all overstated. I've driven this highway at least 30 times. Many of these trips were in two wheel drive Honda Civics etc. It's not nearly as bad as TV etc. make it out to be. The trick? winter tires and DRIVE FOR THE CONDITIONS. It's really that simple. The thing that makes this highway dangerous is other drivers.

    on that highway, there should be snow sheds that cover the entire roadway on portions that have steep grades. Ventilation would be done using long louvers on the sides that would allow air to go in and out, but would keep out the snow so the road is kept 100% dry at all times of the year.

    Driven this about 25 times in a 2 axle 6-wheeler. (Truck = 2 1/2 tons, load =3 tons,. GVW 5 1/2 tons.) Drove it once in a freezing rain storm. Bit like this video but less snow, more rain. I was empty but crawled along like this video. At the weigh station west of Hope it weighed 6 tons. The whole rig had icicles all around, looked like it was bearded. I had to bust them off before I was allowed to proceed. Summer drives were nice though.

    The maintenance of the highway has got progressively worse since they removed the tolls, we have yet another road maintenance (oxymoron) company and things are no better

      so true. I thought it was bad with the last company, the one that took over this year has sure dropped the ball a few times already this year.

      Coq goes thru unsettled territory. There are no places to stop once you are on it. It goes 3 hours/150 miles and when you start at one end you dont know what you are going to meet at the other. Ends are low elevation but it climbs to high summits. Like Interstate 8 going east from San Diego.

    This piece of the TC HWY is a joke...year after year truckers face immense issues trying to get down or up this deadly road portion. Even seasoned vets are using all they can to safely get through....Nothing is done that changes the surfaces that can lead to major crash concerns...A double truck convoy needs to be implemented with enough salt/gravel ahead of all vehicles to safely get traffic up or down

      About 10-15mph maybe less. It was a very slow decent.
