I am part way through painting the climb up Col Du Turini and the road are bugging me as they appear to slope off the edge. This is easy to fix by putting the road barriers up which will trick the eye into seeing them level but before I can add the barriers I need the traffic on the road behind.

All the photos of the road show no traffic at all, or just a solitary vehicle so seeking your ideas on what traffic to add and where.

A single car/motorbike speeding around the nearest corner?
A single cyclist or perhaps a group climbing slowly upwards?
A whole stack of holiday traffic stuck behind an old VW T2 wheezing its way to the top?


Ignore the bottom right and everything above the tunnel entrance as they have only been blocked in so far and need all the detail adding.

Edit. It's not in Italy so got to be a 2cv climbing up.

You could have a Land Rover 110 chasing down and catching a Ford Mondeo. Well that is my lasting memory of driving over it 🙂

Best explanation of crap brakes yet from a Landie owner

lol. However, the chase was on the climb to the summit not the descent 🙂

I saw no traffic in nearly 2 hours climbing the thing mid-week in September some years back. The sag wagon nearly burnt the clutch out following me though 🙂
