Learning to drive in Victorville: coordinated signals and desert wind
Victorville times the signals on several main streets to work together. City traffic engineers coordinate signals (opens in a new tab) on Roy Rogers Drive, Bear Valley Road and 7th Street. The same page explains the rule for an intersection with no signals or signs. If two cars arrive at the same time, the driver on the left yields to the driver on the right. Learn this rule before you drive on quieter streets. When in doubt, slow down and let the other driver go first.
Interstate 15 runs through Victorville. Caltrans repaved I-15 (opens in a new tab) between Oak Hill Road in Hesperia and a point near Bear Valley Road. That job included possible closures at the connector to US 395 and was scheduled to wrap up in 2025. On windy days, the National Weather Service advises drivers to slow down and grip the wheel with both hands (opens in a new tab). Stay back from trucks, buses and trailers, because one strong gust can tip them over.
