[Talk-us] United States Bicycle Route System ballots pending AASHTO approval

[Kerry Irons]

Bradley,

The direction at the US 50 crossing is what RideWithGPS created and clearly it is wrong.  It should describe a left turn ONTO Sierra Blanca Rd. and there should be no reference to Pondarado Rd.

The decision to cross US 50 at this point was made by El Dorado County.

Thanks for catching this detail.

Just finished adding the route from SLT to Placerville, plan to continue west as I have time.

Aside: Curiously, the crossing proposed across US 50 at Sierra Blanca (line 21 - confusing to follow since you do not "continue on" but instead turn left and cross 50 to get to Sierra Blanca, and Ponderado Rd. is not involved in the route at all per El Dorado County road map) appears to be illegal, unless this somehow counts as an implicit crossing under CA law. Not to mention having to cross 6 lanes of 65
mph+ traffic! I would prefer to stay on Carson Rd. until it reconnects
with El Dorado Trail myself.
