Can Sedans Travel on National Highway 318?
1 Answers
Sedans can travel on National Highway 318. The specific details are as follows: 1. Chassis Issue: The overall road conditions of National Highway 318 on the Sichuan-Tibet route are not ideal. Firstly, the roads are steep with numerous high peaks; there are 15 peaks to cross along the way, including continuous curves like those at Zheduo Mountain. Secondly, the road conditions are poor, often encountering flash floods, mudslides, landslides, and falling rocks. Although National Highway 318 on the Sichuan-Tibet route has undergone large-scale road repairs in recent years, many sections are still affected by natural disasters, making it impossible for vehicles with low ground clearance to pass. 2. Tire Issue: Some sections of National Highway 318 on the Sichuan-Tibet route are gravel roads, which are very demanding on tires. Sedan tires are designed for asphalt roads and are relatively thin, unable to withstand the significant damage caused by gravel roads. Additionally, there are few tire repair points along National Highway 318. 3. Vehicle Popularity Issue: The most commonly seen vehicles in Tibet are the Toyota Prado, Mitsubishi Pajero, and Toyota Land Cruiser. Gas stations and repair shops along the route mainly supply fuel and parts for these models.
