Looks good to me. I've noted some comments above. Nice job! —Rob (talk) 03:28, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

South Lake Tahoe

Guys... is South Lake Tahoe on the signs or not? It doesn't appear on [1], but that's from 2000, and may have been replaced. --NE2 04:59, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Huh. So what's on the sign is important? Stratosphere ^{(U T)} 02:45, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Huh? --NE2 23:04, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

This should end the "Placerville vs. South Lake Tahoe-on-the-sign" fiasco: [2]. Here's a caption to go with the photo:

"Howe Avenue (looking north from Folsom Boulevard) at the U.S. Highway 50 interchange. It is also the west end of the east segment of State Route 16. However, the END shield is no longer present."

The interchange was redone a few years ago. PhATxPnOY916 (talk) 01:41, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Thank you. --NE2 20:52, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Hmmm

I think the table is a bit unclear around the US 50 interchange section (in the table). What does "Folsom Boulevard west / Power Inn Road" and "Folsom Boulevard east / Notre Dame Drive" mean? Killiondude (talk) 07:20, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

The exit to Folsom Boulevard west provides access to Power Inn Road as well. Usually when there is a specific direction attached to a road on an exit sign, the ramp is oriented to promote traffic going in that specific direction (if not force). --Rschen7754 (T C) 10:25, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

Route 16 at Woodland

If you think my updated description is confusing, try the roads! (I just did). I suspect that southbound on I5 one is directed to 5 Business south. Some of the signs are visible on Google streetview, but some are not. Maybe the article should just say that the junction with I5 is unclear and inconsistently signed. Alanf777 (talk) 06:55, 24 June 2014 (UTC)

I can't find online/computer maps which agree! I think the consensus is that it runs north concurrently with E7, Interstate Business 5 and 98 -- which some show as "Pedrick Rd". deLorme Topo 2010 DOES show it all the way along I5 and 50. Alanf777 (talk) 14:39, 24 June 2014 (UTC)
