Cars and buses take the new road (the one on the left in GM) which opened about a year ago. Anyway, the mountain bike "tour" is REALLY impressive and actually kind of safe since the cars take the new road.

Nothing like a self fulfilling prophecy. Seems like a little bit of regulation would go a long way here. I would assume at 69 km, the road could be traversed by a convoy of vehicles in two hours. So, for two hours all traffic goes one way, then the following two hours it goes the other. Probably a major inconvenience, but death is much bigger. “Notoriety hasn’t helped the death tool here, as thrill-seeking tourists now visit the area just to drive on the road and it’s even popular with mountain biking lunatics.”
