Leaving the Carson Street intersection in Carson City, eastbound Nevada 513 is an east-west urban state route that follows Fifth Street from Carson Street (Nevada 529) east to Carson River Road, then turns southeast to the bridge over the Carson River. Nevada 513 is largely unsigned with a BEGIN shield at the east end, but no readily apparent signage at the west end. Here, Nevada 513 east approaches Nevada 520/Stewart Street southeast of downtown Carson City. Photo taken 07/19/09.
U.S. 395 has a bicycle route through Carson City, as signified by these bike route signs. Photo taken 07/19/09.
The next traffic signal along Nevada 513/Fifth Street is with Roop Street. Photo taken 07/19/09.
Leaving the downtown Carson City, the next traffic signal is about a half-mile east of Roop Street, at Saliman Street. The construction signs advise of the pending overpass over Interstate 580 and U.S. 50-395/Carson City Bypass. Photo taken 07/19/09.
Nevada 513/Fifth Street ascend to cross over Interstate 580 and U.S. 50-395/Carson City Bypass. No interchange is proposed at this point; traffic must access the freeway via William Street (Nevada 530) or Fairview Drive (not a state highway). Photo taken 07/19/09.
Shortly thereafter, Nevada 513/Fifth Street passes over the Carson City Bypass on this new concrete bridge. Photo taken 07/19/09.
Soon after passing over Interstate 580, a roundabout ahead warning sign advises of the intersection with Edmonds Drive. Turn left ahead to Edmonds Drive north or right for Fairview Drive southwest to Interstate 580/Carson City Bypass. Photo taken 07/19/09.
NDOT seems to have embraced traffic roundabouts rather than traffic signals at rural intersections such as this one between Fifth Street and Edmonds Drive (Fairview Drive). Another rural roundabout is found in Minden along Nevada 88 just south of the U.S. 395 intersection. Photo taken 07/19/09.
