Before the center divider was installed, hwy 17 was called Blood Alley…
Used to drive to Grandpa’s house in S.C. almost every month in summer from East Bay, San Lorenzo, cannot ever remember getting stuck in traffic around ’68 to ’72 –
The CHP would park a car in a turn out up the hill before Cloud 9. I was about 8 years old my dad, as he slowed, said look at the driver; so I did and it was a mannequin dressed as a CHP in drivers seat.
That could confirm the lack of traffic as everyone did speed, so why put the CHP car w “a dummy” on a straight stretch if traffic jams existed.
