ANY law that allows the peace officer to act as judge and jury is an abomination to the Charter IMO. Its no different than the .05 law.

That being said, the hwy system in BC is truly horrible and yes much of that has to do with the terrain involved. On Saturday morning we were heading to Fairmont from Sicamouse, when we got right past the summit at Rogers pass and just before those boarded up hotels (or whatever they were) traffic came to a complete halt. We sat there for 4 hours and 45 minutes A major accident just on the other side of the last snowshed had made the hwy impassable and 3 people need some serious help. (all from Calgary ironically)We watched as medivac after medivac flew in and back out.

Here is a link with the images.
