Any update on this one Elaine?
Thanks.

The two worst stretches of highway: PG to Quesnel, and PG to Vanderhoof.

It's time the province gets serious about transportation infrastructure around here.

Well said, bohemian! Kamloops wouldn't tolerate such two-lane 1950's vintage *highways* as we have here connecting Prince George to the outside world!

As long as the City (read Mayor) doesn't complain we are not going to get a thing done.

Priorities are totally out of order and nobody seems to give any importance to the basics.

I agree with both of you!
I drive these stretches of highway all the time, and they are the worst!
I dread them both!

While I admit these stretches of highway suck, I respectfully disagree about then being "worst". Ever driven either east or west from Salmon Arm on Highway 1? The nasty cliff curves west of Sorrento, the windy stretch between Salmon Arm and Tappen, plus the nightmare between Salmon Arm and Revelstoke.... Sure would be nice if some REAL infrastructure dollars were spent on out major highways rather than dribs and drabs.

And the highway between Kelowna and Penticton is not even four laned all the way.

Yet that section south of 100 mile house ... for some unknown reason, other than the highways minister at the time of construction was from that area, that section is 4 laned.

I think Quesnel to PG ought to be four laned as well as some sections to Vanderhoof.

Four laning doesn't always help. It is winter people, Ice, Snow, you have to slow down. Also a lot of it goes back to our raod contracters. They sperad the crap to make slush, but don't clear the slush and thick snow. As a result vehicles, especially small ones get thrown around in it. We need better road maintenance. But we also need to slow down.

It's essential to remember that it is indeed winter and drive accordingly. But, how about giving Prince George equal treatment to other cities of equal size, like Kamloops?

Don't they have winter, ice and snow in Kamloops? There the highways are fourlaned, on some stretches even sixlaned. The opposing traffic is also properly separated by a wide median and often by concrete dividers.

Here the slightest deviation from the one and only lane will lead immediately into a crossing over into the opposite lane - no room for any attempts to straighten things out.

Let's get some 21st century highways for this northern crossroads city as well! I bet that our area's GDP outperforms that of Kamloops by a wide margin and so do the taxes that flow south from here!

The Bypass with its lack of proper length right turn lanes and left turn lanes that are too short is a prime example! Don't our city officials and the Mayor notice any of this and why don't they pick up the phone and dial 1-604-***-****?

What's good for the gander is good for the goose - we are being goosed.

I think there is a lot to be said for improving the highways but in my view the problem this year has been the lack of sanding. The highway south was an ice rink for three days before the multivehicle crash closed it down. It looked bare and dry, and people were driving it that way. There is a lot of overconfidence in winter tires and all wheel drive it seems.
