A lot of interesting comments in here. Especially the 55mph speed limit. We drove hwy 1 northbound in May, length of the truck and trailer is 42'. No white knuckles. No 55mph either, that's for damn sure. I also drove it southbound in a itty bitty Honda Civic in years prior.
Big or small vehicle, the roads do not allow fast travel. So for whomever mentioned you will not be welcome? Lol. It's a highway! Scenic highway at that! Tourists, American, Canadian and intercontinental. Ain't no one in a hurry, any preconceived notion that the traffic around you is offended by your presence is asinine.
I5 from San Fran to Anaheim took us one day. That was a easy stress free drive (save for freeways leaving San Fran and entering LA County, not stressful, just traffic sucks)
BUT I5 vs Hwy 1? Hwy 1 takes forever in comparison. But as moparmaga2 posted, the view, the drive, is a destination and journey all on its own and is worthy of the extra roadtime.
It's "white knuckles" just due to the nature of some of the curves on that road. It is curvy, not straight for any length of time and requires total concentration if your towing/driving a large rig.
