Highway 1 from Willits to Fort Bragg is probably one of the most dangerous sections of roadway in California-please be careful driving this road-especially in this winter weather.

Try Hwy 17 between Santa Cruz and Los Gatos.

There are bumper stickers that say: ‘Safe and Serene Hwy 17’ It’s a joke.

Before my time, Hwy 17 had NO center divider (concrete). It was a two lane hwy with a suicide lane (passing lane) in the middle.

Yes, I survived my youth on Hwy 17.

Only saw one head on collision on that road. Only been on it once, in 1977.
