First of all, stop teasing the rest of us with beautiful scenery.

But a stupid question.

Usually long grades have two lanes climbing and one descending so slow moving vehicles can be passed on the climb. This road seems to be the opposite, unless it's a trick of the photo's perspective.

So is this a photo illusion, or is there a reason for 2 lanes on the descent side, and no passing on the climb?
