So, what are the road conditions. Well, first of all, lot of the highways is chip seal process. This is the least expensive of the 2, and will last the same as asphalt.
But, it creates dust and bumpy roads. Other highways are a mixer of other types. So, what can you do to ensure a safe journeys.
Most of it is just common sense that's it's. Other is looking ahead, seeing what the vehicle in front of you is doing.
Watch for the road signs, as is the most common way to avoid issues. Don't be afraid of using the opposite lane are even splitting the 2 lanes. Especially since you are alone on the road.
Now what are some of the other things you can do. The biggest is just slow down. When we came into Iskut, which is 210 from Watson Lake (end), and 250 miles from Kitwanga (start). Susan had been driving. She started the drive in the morning from Meziadin Provincial park. The images below are from that section of highway north of Iskut. Don't be afraid to drive less then 40mph or even less then 20mph, due to road conditions.
Now along with roads - are some of the rest stops, especially along the Cassiar Hwy. Be prepared to pull over. Relax and even spend the night. Don't be worried about spending the night, many people do it and some even enjoy it.
