US 101 in California

101 is pretty, but very slow in many areas. And there are very few places that you can stop.

 

101 has a 65 foot length restriction in the north part of CA

101 is a beautiful drive...

...in a car.

Avoid it in a truck.

 

I pick up and deliver off the 101 its ok at the right time. 5 to 20 to 101 pick up 101 on down through the bay area back to the 5. is one of em

 

How about Oxnard - 101 n to bay area to ? cant forget Los Angeles

 

I'd suggest to check the truck route restrictions in Oregon

 

Best run I 5.
101 has a 65 foot length restriction from Leggett north. The fine in California can be up to 1250.00.
The highway patrol has told me that California is not required to list their restrictions in the atlases and there are quite a few of them.
Rand McNally has been able to figure some of them out and thereby listing them, but the fine is to hefty to get caught on that section of 101.
If you get stopped they will measure you to include dock bumpers and any other extensions on the rig. If you're even an inch over, they just start writing.
