As you enter the mountain regions during winter storms, the cops set up checkpoint areas to make sure that your vehicle has the state mandated equipment for driving in winter storm conditions. Mainly that you have snow tires, chains, 4x4, etc. Markings along the major roads are there all year round showing the location of the areas where the road has been widened to allow drivers to stop and mount their chains [or pay someone to do so]. On some roads, there are metal gates that can close the entire road to traffic if needed. Kinda like the big freeway gates across I-80 in Wyoming. Sadly, none of the checks include the highway patrol having you demonstrate that you have a clue how to actually drive and stop safely in snow. Why are these there? To prevent another Donner Party as you cross the Sierra on I-80 thru Donner Pass. -- Fan of the dumbest team in America. |
