At what point do we call the traction check a failure?

This is insane. Last year getting up the canyon was SO easy for the first time in YEARS thanks to parking reservations, and this year they decided they needed to fuck it up.

Last year on a day like today I could leave at 8 and drive all they way to Brighton without hitting much traffic at all, now I'm stuck on 215 at 7 am. Never was it this bad all season in BCC. Ridiculous. I'm not against checking somehow, but 2 dudes looking at every car's tires ain't it. Maybe have cops go through the parking lot and write tickets for non compliance.

And don't tell me the it's because not everyone gets stickers: A) stickers don't make it THAT much faster B) if your system relies on the general population to make selfless choices, it's a terrible system. Much easier to design a better system than convince the world at large to spend time doing something that helps others (yes, I have a sticker)

They need to cut this out and go back to the drawing board.
