Document Description
Caltrans proposes a safety improvement project that would add a left turn lane from US 101 southbound to Rowdy Creek Rd. The project is needed to improve safety through shoulder widening, intersection lighting, and guardrail system modifications. The project would reduce the frequency and severity of collisions associated with left turn movements onto Rowdy Creek Road, improving safety for all roadway users.
