Driving in San Bernardino County: chain controls and the Mojave
Several San Bernardino County highways have set chain-control areas. Caltrans has assigned chain installers (opens in a new tab) to set areas on State Route 18, State Route 330 and State Route 38. When signs say chains are required, you usually have about a mile to reach the checkpoint. Under the three state chain levels (opens in a new tab), R2 excuses four-wheel-drive cars with snow tires on all four wheels, but R3 has no exceptions. Speed is limited to 25 or 30 mph with chains on. Practice putting chains on at home, and pull fully off the road to install them.
Out in the Mojave Desert, Interstate 15 is the route to Las Vegas, and it is set to change. Caltrans, state wildlife officials and Brightline West plan three wildlife overcrossings (opens in a new tab) near Cave Mountain, Soda Mountain and Clark Mountain, mainly for bighorn sheep. The bridges will also span a future high-speed rail line in the freeway median. In the desert, the National Weather Service warns, dust storms (opens in a new tab) can hit with little warning and sharply cut visibility. If dust blows across the road, pull far off the pavement and stop. Then turn off all lights, set the parking brake and lift your foot off the brake.
