Motorist behavior along Highway 50 in the Sierra a concern to Caltrans and CHP
Submitted by admin on Tue, 01/03/2017 - 6:39pm
The snow hasn't been the only concern on Highway 50 over Echo Summit and along the road to Strawberry. The behavior of motorists who park illegally on the road is becoming more of a safety issue and hazard.
For those that have driven this stretch, the situation isn't anything new though there has been a big increase in offenders.
Drivers are pulling over on the roadway, a state highway, to experience snow play, and those parking are not paying attention to "No Parking" signs or the dangerous situation they are causing.

Winter driving: Check road conditions, be prepared and take it slow
Submitted by paula on Sat, 12/24/2016 - 8:18am
With the large number of accidents throughout the Lake Tahoe basin Friday, it is important that everyone remember the basic rules of driving on snow and ice, especially when so many people are on the road.
Slow and easy, don't follow the car in front of you too close, and paying attention are the basics. Driving patterns cannot be the same as if driving on dry pavement in lower, warmer elevations.
Caltrans has a very easy website that includes cameras and up to the minute information on all California roads: quickmap.dot.ca.gov

Opinion: Hot chocolate run turns into mission to help homeless in South Lake Tahoe

She wasn't crying, but she wasn't exactly not crying, either. We were about to get an early season storm, a typical hot-to-cold pattern, and I had been looking out the window waiting on rain to become snow. My wife had gone to the grocery store, and I wanted to know what had upset the hot chocolate run. An elderly homeless couple had been rummaging through a dumpster in the parking lot. They were literally freezing, threadbare clothes wet and icing over.
