BC Mountain Pass Cameras News – Check out the summit with images from the DriveBC Cameras

The BC Mountain Highway Passes are a network of mountain passes in British Columbia, Canada that are used for transportation purposes. The mountain passes are located in the Coast and Rocky Mountain ranges of British Columbia and are used by both commercial and recreational vehicles. Some of the more well-known mountain passes in British Columbia include the Coquihalla Highway, the Okanagan Connector, and the Crowsnest Highway. These mountain passes can be prone to challenging driving conditions, especially in the winter months, due to heavy snowfall and ice. As a result, it is important for drivers to be prepared and to check the road conditions before setting out on a trip through the mountain passes.

Drive Safely on Mountain Roads – BC Mountain Pass Webcams DriveBC Cameras

Driving in the mountains is different from city and highway driving. There are the added rise and decline in elevation, narrowing and winding roadways, and the ever-present possibility of snow and ice. We’ve put together some tips to help you safely navigate your way over the mountains, regardless of the time of year.

Watch the Weather Forecast and Check the Road Reports

If the passes seem too treacherous for you, wait it out. Weather conditions can change overnight. 

Fill up your gas tank before you leave. Driving up and down mountain passes at slower speeds can burn a lot more fuel than regular driving. In addition, check your defroster, wiper blades, and headlights and top-off all your fluids, including wiper fluid and antifreeze. 

It’s not how you drive, but how you arrive that matters. Slowing down on snow and ice-covered mountain roads is the best way to reach your destination without getting in an accident or losing control. 

Leave early and give yourself plenty of time. There’s enough stress with driving in winter conditions, you don’t need to add to it feeling rushed.

Avoid using cruise control. Your tires could spin too fast on snow and ice, reducing your control.

Maintain a safe distance. It takes a lot longer to stop on ice and snow. 

Ease up on the gas. Slow acceleration and easing off the gas can help keep you in control.

Shift down instead of constantly braking. If you drive an automatic, use your vehicle’s lower gear settings. Keeping your vehicle in a single gear can help improve traction. Plus it ensures you maintain a slow speed.

Don’t pass unless it’s absolutely necessary. Again, the best way to get there without incident is to slow down.

Don’t hug the centreline. If you skid or lose control, you don’t want to drift into oncoming traffic.

Invest in a set of good winter tires. DriveBC Cameras
