What to expect on the roads this route covers

This route joins CA-99 South then merges directly onto CA-180, the Senator Jim Costa Highway and Sequoia-Kings Canyon Freeway, both classed motorway, a real back-to-back freeway sequence before exiting onto Blackstone Avenue. East McKinley Avenue is the longest surface stretch at 2.42 miles, and North Fresno Street follows close behind at 1.02 miles, both classed secondary. San Joaquin Memorial High School sits directly on North Fresno Street, so expect school-zone traffic on that stretch.

Tips for this specific route

• Get comfortable with back-to-back freeways. This route joins CA-99 South and merges directly onto CA-180, two separate motorway-classed highways in quick succession, more than any other route in this specific part of Fresno.
• Settle into a steady pace on East McKinley Avenue. It's the longest surface stretch on the route at 2.42 miles.
• Watch for school-zone traffic on North Fresno Street. San Joaquin Memorial High School sits directly on this stretch, the second-longest on the route at 1.02 miles.
• Expect a heavily left-turn route. 10 of this route's 13 turns are lefts, more one-sided than most routes in this area.
• Drive smoothly and confidently. Hesitation at intersections is marked the same way poor decision making is.
