Dry Creek Road near Janai Court

Napa, CaliforniaJun 04, 20081 Comments

Southbound traffic is especially susceptible to this as the posted speed limit is 55 MPH all the way from Oakville Grade to the city limits. Just as you enter city limits and the housing developments appear on your left, the speed limit drops to 40 MPH. The roadway is straight, clear and wide, and since homes are only on the east side of the road, 40 MPH seems an unreasonably low limit. Napa motorcycle cop parks slightly down Janai Court where he’s hard to see but gets a clear shot at southbound traffic.
Strictly enforced – no warnings.

Comments:
a small note on this stretch of road is in the early 2000's it was often used for street racing as northbound traffic had 2 lanes, since then street racing has heavily decined since 05, and there was a near fatal wreck in 09 from guys doing 70+ on dry creek westbound and crashing into alston park. Doesnt suprise me this street is heavily enforced, but a 50 mph limit would be more reasonable.
