What to expect on the roads this route covers

This route stays almost entirely within Fort Bragg's small in-town grid, one of the shortest routes covered so far. North Main Street, signed as CA-1 and the Jere Melo Memorial Highway, is the only road classed above a plain street, the town's coastal highway spine. Shelter Cove Community Day School, Noyo High School, and Lighthouse Community Day School all sit right where the route turns onto North Sanderson Way, so expect school traffic at that turn. The route also includes a conditional left U-turn on East Fir Street, a maneuver most routes in this area don't ask for.

Tips for this specific route

• Confirm the office's open days before you go. This location runs on a limited Tuesday-and-Thursday-only schedule, closed the rest of the week.
• Recognize CA-1 as the only major road on this route. North Main Street, signed as the Jere Melo Memorial Highway, is the only stretch classed above a plain street.
• Practice a conditional U-turn. East Fir Street includes a left U-turn "if permitted," a maneuver most routes in this area don't include.
• Watch for school traffic where the route turns onto North Sanderson Way. Three schools, Shelter Cove Community Day School, Noyo High School, and Lighthouse Community Day School, all sit right at that turn.
• Drive smoothly and confidently. Hesitation at intersections is marked the same way poor decision making is.
