I have lived here since 12/05. The traffic is slow but much better than in our hometown of Santa Rosa or Orange County,CA where we just relocated from. The worst part of the day is when the high school lets out. There is a bypass in the works that is supposed to be done in 5 years (I will believe it when I see it as they have not even purchased the land as of yet).
Also they have blocked one of the entrances to Safeway as they are re-paving, putting in a gas station and re-modeling the Safeway store all at one time. There is no place to park and therefore backing up the 101 with the people trying to get in and out of the lot. I have noticed that the traffic is slower now with summer approaching and on weekends. Once you learn the side streets, it alot faster to get through.
Don't try to come through on July 4th. I read that the 101 will be closed for a few hours for a parade. |
