Is there any problem with driving a sedan on the 318 route to Tibet?
1 Answers
No problem, but the road to Tibet has many bends, steep slopes, and narrow roads, so safety should be a priority. Before heading to Tibet, it's advisable to perform maintenance on the sedan and check the vehicle's condition. Although the Sichuan-Tibet Highway 318 is good, it's not comparable to roads in the mainland, and breaking down on the roadside can be inconvenient for repairs. Check the tires and carry an extra spare tire in the car. Additionally, bring snow chains, as the weather on the Sichuan-Tibet Highway can vary greatly—sometimes encountering heavy snow, and traffic police may require all vehicles to have snow chains installed to pass. Travel precautions: 1. Do not park the car on curves or the roadside: The joy of self-driving is the freedom to stop whenever you want, especially when you see beautiful scenery worth pausing for. However, never park on curves or the roadside; always park in designated parking spots on straight sections with wide visibility. If there are no designated spots, try to park as close to the edge of the road as possible without obstructing traffic. There are many large vehicles on the road, driving fast on narrow roads, and sometimes fatigued truck drivers may cause accidents while avoiding other vehicles. 2. Avoid driving at night: Self-driving should be relaxed and comfortable, so when it gets dark, find a suitable place to rest. Driving at night on the Sichuan-Tibet Highway is very dangerous, not only because there are many large trucks but also due to poor visibility at night, making it difficult to see potential hazards like falling rocks on the roadside.
