What to expect on the roads this route covers

CA-108 and CA-132 weave through downtown Modesto across five different named streets: 15th Street, L Street, 9th Street, Yosemite Boulevard, and D Street, all classed primary. 9th Street is the longest single stretch at 0.91 miles, and both 9th Street and D Street are used three separate times as the route loops through downtown. A Plus Academics Preschool sits directly on G Street, so expect childcare drop-off traffic there.

Tips for this specific route

• Get comfortable with CA-108 and CA-132 under different street names. This route crosses their combined designation on five separate streets: 15th, L, 9th, Yosemite, and D.
• Recognize 9th Street and D Street on repeat passes. Both appear three separate times as the route loops through downtown.
• Watch for childcare traffic on G Street. A Plus Academics Preschool sits directly on this stretch.
• Don't expect long straightaways. With 20 turns across just 5.95 miles, this is one of the more turn-dense routes in this area, which is why it takes 32 minutes despite the short distance.
• Expect slightly more left turns than right. Eleven of this route's 20 turns are lefts.
