Somebody please tell me I'm mis-remembering things from my road trip in early October of last year. I could have sworn there was a section of US-101 north of Eureka where the signage for a section of road specifically advised "Do Not Stop". I suspect it was due to natural hazards, but I am having a hard time locating it. Any guesses.

This was NOT a construction zone with the orange signs.
Welcome to Breezewood, PA... the parking lot between I-70 and I-70.

It's also to stop you seeing the rest of Global Dynamics's top secret research.

I've usually only seen that for prisons nearby, but I have seen at least once the same sign for rockslide areas. Didn't stop me from getting photos.

That was my first thought - Pelican Bay (supermax prison) backs up to US 101 outside of Crescent City.

I've seen "HITCHHIKERS MAY BE ESCAPING INMATES" and "REPORT SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY - DIAL 911" near a few prisons. But not that I recall in California, though.

heh, it beats that 50mph "safety corridor" they randomly put in south of Arcata.

There is nothing random about it.  The section of 101 between Arcata and Eureka is a congested expressway.  The plan is to upgrade it to a freeway, add an interchange at Indianola Road plus place a bike and pedestrian path between the highway and railroad tracks.  The Coastal Commission had to get their 2 cents in for conditions so procedure, procedure and more procedure is holding up the parade.  Here's a link to the website that deals with this long strung-out project: http://eurekaarcatacorridor.wordpress.com/

US 101 is THE backbone of the Pacific coast from Bandon OR to Willits CA.  Industry, tourism and local traffic would be gone or severely crippled without it being in functioning condition in BOTH states.
