| Traffic | Placer Hills Rd - traffic usually builds up in downtown and into Sierra Hills School in the morning 7:30-8:15am and in the afternoon when school lets out and people pick up their kids. School Bus Rules - Remember to stop when red lights are flashing. Interstate-80 - traffic usually occurs on Fridays when people are headed up I-80 East for weekend Travel and then on Sundays in the afternoon. California Highway Patrol LOVES to hang out at the Meadow Vista/Clipper Gap Onramp and catch speeders on radar as they head to Sacramento. Obey the speed limit, hands-free and seatbelt laws. Highway 49 - can be miserable going both directions during rush hour times through Auburn. Best bet is to take alternate routes or travel at different times. |
