This sounds like Caltrans is prepping to install a signal here.
With the signal already in place by Pt. Sur and two others planned for Rocky Creek Bridge and just north of Nepenthe that will make for 4 signals instead of the anticipated three for these coming summer months. Hell for emergency services, contractors, residents, employees, employers, and yes visiting tourist too … yuck!!
Oops, misread … not Granite, Rocky Creek, so still only the three anticipated signals!
