I don't know if there will be traffic restrictions in Banff in two weeks. Today, when I looked at Google Navigation, the time was terrible ?

Detour due to construction, but only had to wait about 20 minutes to pass. I was just coming back from Banff to Vancouver and also encountered the control.
Some sections of the road are under construction.
It's a two-way control, but the waiting time is very short.

Why is there a traffic control? Ice on the road?

Just left two days ago. I was also scared by Google Maps and considered whether to walk because of 7 hours. But after finally mustering up the courage to walk, I found out that Google was bluffing. It's only 3 and a half hours.
Just walked off the Icefields Parkway. Google shows five and a half hours from the center of the Icefields to Lake Louise, but it actually took only two or three hours to walk and stop to take photos.
