Can I use US-199 in nothern California?

I live in Humboldt County.

 

Coming from the north 299 is good these days I'm not disagreeing with anybody that's written anything so far. Please try not to ever take the 36 not even in your car unless you're into that sort of thing in the car that is. Coming from the south the 20 is not bad. So for me the only options to get to the 5 or from the five to or from Eureka is none other than 299, 20, maybe something better else much further south. Maybe 69 mi south of Eureka or so there's a place called Richardson's Grove. It's tight with big trees and no shoulders and that's the reason for a restrictions in that area you've got to be 65 ft at that point five miles before Richardson's Grove and 5 mi after I would say if you get caught during the day you need to be 65 ft not 65 ft 4 in with your deer guard. Rarely they hang around looking but nearly always they don't. Mught be easier for a flatbed to sneak by during the day I don't know because I've never taken but maybe once a 53 through there "during the day". Maybe twice.

 

I need to get to Crescent City from Reno/Susanville. My truck gps is saying to take CA 299 and then North on 101. Google is offering going North on I5 to CA 199. What would you recommend? I have a 53" CA legal FB

 

I saw the maps, thank you. The question was if 199 better and worth taking over 299.

 

I've only ridden a sport bike on those roads. Fun for that but really only saw logging trucks and short food service trailers.
What about 5 to 199

 

44 to Redding to 299?

 

That's the point 36 to Redding is clear but then either 299 or I5 mostly with a part of twisty 199. I haven't driven on any of them.

 

Your legal on 199 but advised 30 kpra so while legal will be slower.
299 has no king to rear axle restrictions so I'd guess a better truck route. Don't know the mileage difference.

 

20 miles shorter via ca199 but I missed the 30 kpra advisory. I've driven on a route with 30 kpra once. It was "interesting" but I was empty. Not this time then. Thank you, that's what I needed to know.
