"OK, so I'm double checking using Google Earth to get the exact specifics for the piece of road defined by that red line.
Elevation of Bottom point is 1933m. Elevation of top point is 2004m. Elevation difference is 71 meters (233 feet). Straight line horizontal distance is 324.6 m (1070 feet). Straight line slope is 1m elevation every 4.5m horizontally which is a 22.2% grade along that red line. No fully loaded commercial vehicle could safely follow that straight line slope."
