To me this is a terrifying thing. I know it works on places like the German Autobahn however rules of the road and rules for being on the road are much different then here. Vehicles are inspected annually for brakes, tires, head-light intensity, safety kit including reflective vest and triangles etc. Drivers there also seem to respect keep right except to pass and other rules like distracted driving. Here... I fear I'd see more lost tires, overheated cars, high speed accidents and generally more idiots who think they can handle their vehicle on such a road but in reality can't. Potholes, other driver swerves, strong crosswind. Any number of factors. I've driven the stretch at 120. 120 is great and makes sense for both 5 through Merritt and 97C to the Okanagan.
Trucks should be maxed to a certain speed limit.
