Route 14U

[Max Rockatansky]

I'll just note that, while in the process of adding postmiles to my pages for the next update, I ran into a Route 101U (US 101). There are actually a couple of portions of it; I don't know if it is signed in the field. Here are the two original references from my site when I uncovered it:

In April 2010, the CTC approved relinquishment of right of way in the county of Mendocino along Route 101U (Geyser Road) from the Sonoma County line to Route 101, consisting of superseded highway right of way.

In June 2013, the CTC authorized relinquishment of right of way in the county of Mendocino on Route 101U in the Confusion Hill area, consisting of superseded highway right of way.

It appears the route lacks any Caltrans signage or even Post Mile paddles but is signed as Mendocino County Route 101A:

CA 14U hasn't been discussed in several years.  Given I was in Los Angeles this weekend I was curious to find out if CA 14U was still in the Postmile Tool, it wasn't.  That being the case I did go on a drive along Sierra Highway to see if any CA 14U shields were present, there is still two:

Still is. Go into the tool's map, click on the Sierra Hwy. At least two places, a 14U popup appears.

I'm in a prolonged power outage in northern Virginia right now, will sign off until power is restored.

Weird, I was clicking on Sierra Highway between Dockweiler and Golden Valley Road.  It worked now, I wonder what was going on a couple days ago?

In addition to the postmile tool, it's useful to go to the Postmile 10th map https://gisdata-caltrans.opendata.arcgis.com/datasets/c22341fec9c74c6b9488ee4da23dd967/explore?location=37.087302%2C-119.281571%2C7.00 and State Highway Network (SHN) Lines map https://gisdata-caltrans.opendata.arcgis.com/maps/77f2d7ba94e040a78bfbe36feb6279da .

Unrelated, but is there a way to also get GIS of county routes? I'm doing a renumbering project and I want to integrate in county highways where possible.

I'd imagine so, but you would probably need to check each county's public works department. LA City has, for example, https://geohub.lacity.org/ . San Diego has https://www.sangis.org/ . Just try searching with the county name, "Public Works" and "GIS" or "Database".

Ah, I see. Thanks. Haven't messed with GIS data in a while. I was just kind of tracing stuff by hand in Illustrator.

Put a blog together for CA 14U:

Sierra Hwy is a more beautiful drive into Santa Clarita and less stressful. CA-14 is usually slogged with traffic and climbs and descends a hill (at freeway speed too) near I-5. I'd rather cruise on in through 14U. It makes sense that it's state maintained because its character as a highway is much closer to that of a 2-4 lane state highway rather than a city arterial.

I'd kill (probably Max, because he'd be my competition  ) for one of those shields in my collection.

Unfortunately none of those began available during SB1.  The scarp shop I was getting old signs from mostly had District 6 shields.

If you look at the GIS links I posted earlier, you'll see there are multiple segments of 14U, of which only one is signed.

(P.S.:  You've never commented on the errors on the Route 245 post: https://www.aaroads.com/forum/index.php?topic=33418.0)

Noted, I just plain forgot about it.  I'll probably have time the next two nights to sort out what was going on with LRN 166 the next two nights in Monterey.
