Solutions being sought to alleviate tourist traffic in Meyers
Submitted by paula on Tue, 02/20/2018 - 4:51pm
Holiday traffic leaving South Lake Tahoe this weekend created another bottleneck in Meyers as well as on side roads throughout the area from those attempting to find a quicker getaway. The choices they made Monday created a three-hour drive from the Y in South Lake Tahoe to areas in Meyers.
Highway 50 over Echo Summit is designed to handle 1,200 cars per hour without any issues, but those numbers dropped Monday, February 19. Just how much they dropped is unknown as the traffic counters normally placed over the roadway are removed for snow removal.

New EDC Traction Control Ordinance ready to be enforced
Submitted by paula on Fri, 11/24/2017 - 1:43am
Vehicles without the proper traction control device on their cars while on El Dorado County roads this winter may be fined and/or towed.
Massive traffic jams on Sundays in Meyers throughout last winter led drivers onto side streets without chains or snow tires on their vehicles, creating a parking lot of disabled cars that were stuck in the snow. Those drivers attempting to circumvent traffic ended up using Manda, North Upper Truckee and other local roads but a new ordinance will try and alleviate those issues.
