The Dangers of Highway 395

[@paulsheehan8185]

why doesn't sacremento wake up and safe guard these rural highways with a center barrier and lower the speed limit?

[@paulsheehan8185]

If your in a hurry, take I-5 and go east, U.S 395, isn't meant to be driven at high speeds, 50 M.P.H, should be the maximum speed limit.

[@paulsheehan8185]

C.H.P and other State Police Agencies has there hands full, with these type of rural highways.

[@paulsheehan8185]

Skip Gorman, why don't you sell what you make on e-bay?, let the country know how dangerous roads like these are.

[@paulsheehan8185]

I hope roads like U.S 395, have radar, so CHP can nail these potential hazzards, who are always in a hurry!

[@andre1987eph]

It IS dangerous on that section. At night it's crazy along that section. That's why I take the 14 instead.

[@paulsheehan8185]

center median barriers should be put in place, u.s 395 is not a highway to be traveled fast, its a road that you should take your time and enjoy the scenary.

[@paulsheehan789]

on 4 lane version (two lanes each way, 55 m.p.h would more suitable.

ROADS LIKE 395, NEED TO BE WIDENED FOR A CENTER JERSEY BARRIER, TO STOP HEAD ON COLLISIONS!

Hope all is well after the earthquakes, we are headed up that way in two weeks camping along the way up to Bishop area. My father was killed on a blood alley up on 101 near King City Ca when I was six years old in 1957. Some roads are still to dangerous after all these years. Good job, hope the attention helps. I have been running up and down 395 for 50 years. Used to drive a tour bus up and down there years ago. Time to fix these types of roads instead of wasting money on crap like a light rail, etc.

[@paulsheehan8185]

Hopefully President Biden's infrastrure plan, will effect roads like U.S 395.

[@paulsheehan789]

us 395 should be widened to allow a high jersey barrier on the center line.

[@VictorGarcia-wi6ng]

I was hit on the 396 going south of 4 corner

[@paulsheehan789]

i'm glad bishop and susanville don't let us 395 go through there towns.

[@Skyclub12]

God bless you!

[@paulsheehan789]

u.s 395 and all rural highways, should be traveled for enjoyment, not for speed, speed limits is insane, if sacremento doesn't fix the problems on these highways, than washington should.

[@paulsheehan789]

speed limit is insane!

[@paulsheehan789]

bridges should have high jersey barriors, because you have trucks, traveling these roads.

[@paulsheehan789]

u.s 395 has one friend, the undertaker!

[@SkyraHope]

[@paulsheehan8185]

i suggested that skip gorman, sells what he makes on e-bay.

This video popped up as I was again looking for vintage videos or pics of the area. We retired here 5 years ago after campsing and fishing here. It needs to be a divided highway all the way! also many speed at very high speeds especially young. We retired to Lone Pine. We have sirens for emergency. Some are hikers going where they shouldnt. A tiny bit may be fire related but most is highway accidents. ALL towns are 25 speed limit yet many blast through town at 80, and the sherrifs are busy for that! One man now working in a restaurant said he was in the volunterr fire dept. but quit because of the horror of highway accidents. I think they should have grates before and after entering each town, like the cow grids. We do get snow so cant put dots or the plows will scrape off. At one point someone got idea or commissioned for plastic sticks? Dumb idea. All are totally torn out by cars. They are even more dangerous as the make a weird optical illusion increasing white line fever. You keep staring at it. To note. This valley is broke because of Los Angeles buying all the land for the water rights 100 yeawrs ago. So any mention of "they" is Los Angeles! Los Angeles owns 98% of the land in Inyo County. Many make reference even on tourist videos of things they dont know info about. One walking tourist video of our town the woman said "watch out for the speeding locals here"? Us locals dont drive in town! Many dont even own a car because most jobs in this valley are part time retail. And all in our town is a 1 minute to 10 minute walk! Unless needed items for a ranch no one drives to go downtown! So its not the locals speeding! California is responsible for the highway but it took decades for our town to get one light in the middle of it. The other thing dangerous are the winds. Many dont get off highway when windy. Sherrifs sometimes block roads. We had to get a hotel in Ridgecrest coming back from running errands south. If anyone wants to write to the state or Cal Trans that would help. You cant complain to the little towns along here. We dont even have mayors.

chp have there hands full with rte.

[@mountainman4987]

What is the fake news lady smiling about exactly?

[@paulsheehan789]

people have to slow down, don't text and drive, don't cross the line.
