Winter Driving:
*Back to top
Winter driving on roads and highways in the snowcapped mountains of California
can be a pleasant adventure or it can frustrating, tiring and sometimes even
hazardous. The California Department of
Transportation provides the following information to help make your
mountain driving safe and pleasant.
* Make sure your brakes, windshield wipers, defroster, heater and exhaust system
are in top condition.
* Check your antifreeze and be ready for colder temperatures. You may want to
add special solvent to your windshield washer reservoir to prevent icing.
* Check your tires. Make sure they are the properly inflated and the tread is in
good condition.
* Always carry chains. Make sure they are the proper size for your tires and are
in working order. You might also want to take along a flashlight and chain
repair links. Chains must be installed on the drive wheels. Make sure you know
if your vehicle is front or rear wheel
drive.
* Other suggested items to carry in your car are an ice scraper or commercial
deicer, a broom for brushing snow off your car, a shovel to free your car if
it's "snowed in", sand or burlap for traction if your wheels should become mired
in snow and an old towel to clean your hands.
* It is also a good idea to take along water, food, warm blankets and extra
clothing. A lengthy delay will make you glad you have them.
* Put an extra car key in your pocket. A number of motorists have locked
themselves out of their cars when putting on chains and at ski areas.
Driving Tips:
*Back to top
* Allow enough time. Trips to the mountains can take longer during winter than
other times of year, especially if you encounter storm conditions or icy roads.
Get an early start and allow plenty of time to reach your destination.
* Keep your gas tank full. It may be necessary to change routes or turn back
during a bad storm or you may be caught in a traffic delay.
* Keep windshield and windows clear. You may want to stop at a safe turnout to
use a snow brush or scraper. Use the car defroster and a clean cloth to keep the
windows free of fog.
* Slow down. A highway speed of 55 mile an hour may be safe in dry weather but
an invitation for trouble on snow and ice. Snow and ice make stopping distances
much longer, so keep your seat belt buckled and leave more distance between your
vehicle and the vehicle ahead. Bridge decks and shady spots can be icy when
other areas are not. Remember to
avoid sudden stops and quick direction changes.
* Be more observant. Visibility is often limited in winter by weather
conditions. Slow down and watch for other vehicles and for snow equipment. Even
though snow removal vehicles have flashing lights, visibility may be so
restricted during a storm that it is difficult to
see the slow moving equipment.
* When stalled, stay with your vehicle and try to conserve fuel while
maintaining warmth. Be alert to any possible exhaust or monoxide problems.
Chain Requirements
*Back to top
* R1: Chains required - snow tread tires (M&S on side of tire) allowed.
* R2: Chains required on all vehicles except four-wheel drives with snow tires.
* R3: Chains required - all vehicles - no exceptions.
* R1 and R2 are the most common conditions. The highway is usually closed before
an R3 condition is imposed.
Chain Controls
*Back to top
* You must stop and put on chains when highway signs indicate chains are
required. You can be cited by the California Highway Patrol and fined if you
don't. You will usually have about a mile between "Chains Required" signs and
the checkpoint to install your chains.
* Control areas can change rapidly from place to place because of changing
weather and road conditions.
* The speed limit when chains are required is 25 or 30 miles and hour and will
be posted along the highway.
* When you must put on chains, wait until you can pull completely off the
roadway to the right. Do not stop in a traffic lane where you will endanger
yourself and block traffic.
* Chain Installers: If you use the services of a chain installer, be sure to get
a receipt and jot the installer's badge number on it. Remember, chain installers
are independent business people, not Caltrans employees. Having the badge number
may help with any miss- understandings later. Chain installers are NOT allowed
to sell or rent chains.
* When removing chains, drive beyond the signs reading "End Chain Control" to a
pull-off area where you can safely remove them.
Caltrans Highway Information Network
*Back to top
* Caltrans officials urge you to check road conditions often. To help keep you
abreast of changing conditions, Caltrans operates the Caltrans Highway
Information Network which motorists may telephone 1-800-427-7623 for
up-to-the-minute information. The network is updated as conditions change.
Required Documents
*Back to top
You must carry a valid driver's license from your home state or country. The
minimum age for drivers is 16 with training, 18 without.
Drinking and Driving
*Back to top
It is illegal to operate a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol level of .08% or
higher. If arrested for driving under the influence, you must submit to a
chemical test to determine blood alcohol content.
Seat Belts/Restraints
*Back to top
Seal belts must be worn by all passengers. Children under 4 years old or
weighing less than 40 lbs. must be in an approved safety seat. A new state law
further states that children under 6 years old or weighing less than 60 lbs.
must be secured in an appropriate child passenger restraint (safety seat or
booster seat).
Helmets
*Back to top
Required for bicyclist under 18 years old and all motorcyclists.
Road Conditions
*Back to top
Call the California Department of Transportation for 24-hour information at
(916) 445-1534.
Vehicular Accidents
*Back to top
You must report an accident to the Department of Motor Vehicles if anyone is
injured or killed, or if more than $500 in damage is incurred.
"Right on Red"
*Back to top
You may turn right at a red light after making a full stop, unless signs
indicate otherwise.
