Short ramps on I-5, drawbridges in the Delta
Not every Sacramento County freeway lesson happens downtown. Near Thornton, Caltrans found that drivers entering I-5 from Twin Cities Road lack enough room to speed up. Cars join the freeway too slowly, and that has caused a pattern of rear-end and sideswipe collisions. A Vision Zero project (opens in a new tab) to lengthen those acceleration lanes is scheduled from July 2026 to December 2027. On any short on-ramp, check mirrors early and match freeway speed before you merge.
The Delta asks for different skills. On State Route 160 near Rio Vista and Isleton, four movable bridges (opens in a new tab) lift or open so boats can pass. They are Three Mile Slough, Isleton, Steamboat Slough and Paintersville. Nearby, State Route 12 east of Route 160 had 204 collisions from 2016 to 2020, with 5 fatal crashes. Caltrans is adding a concrete median barrier (opens in a new tab) there through 2028. Treat a lowered bridge gate like a red light, and on two-lane roads keep well right of center.
