What to expect on the roads this route covers

State Highway 49, classed primary, reappears four separate times on this route, sometimes combined with CA-88, for close to 4.7 miles of combined mileage, more repeat state-highway mileage than any other route covered so far. Jackson Gate Road is the longest surface street at 1.32 miles, and China Graveyard Road, despite the unusual name, is a quiet residential stretch. Sutter Amador Hospital's emergency department sits directly on Mission Boulevard, near the end of the route, so expect ambulance traffic there.
