What repairs are planned for State Route 12 between Currie Road and Drouin Drive in Rio Vista? When will the work be done? Will a concrete divider be installed on State Route 12 the entire way between Rio Vista and Suisun City, as was done on State Route 37 between Vallejo and Sears Point? Are there any plans to put channelizers on State Route 12 between Rio Vista and Interstate 5? Are there any plans to make State Route 12 between Interstate 5 and Rio Vista a no-passing and a double fine zone? Why don’t we just make State Route 12 a four lane highway? Why don’t we ban large trucks from using State Route 12 between Interstate 80 and Interstate 5? Are there any plans to replace the Rio Vista Bridge with a four lane bridge?
What should a driver do if approached from behind by an emergency
vehicle with siren and flashing lights and there is no room to pull off the
highway?
Drive normally until you can pull off of the road, and then do so.
Don’t speed up – you put yourself and other drivers at risk if you drive
above the speed limit. Don’t slow
down – that just delays the emergency response.
And don’t try to pull over if there is not enough room; the emergency
vehicle can’t pass, and the slowed or stopped traffic is a danger to everyone.
What repairs are planned for State Route 12 between Currie Road
and Drouin Drive in Rio Vista? When
will the work be done?
Caltrans is currently in the environmental phase of a project that will provide
shoulder widening from Azevedo Road to Liberty Island Road in Rio Vista.
Will a concrete divider be installed on State Route 12 the entire
way between Rio Vista and Suisun City, as was done on State Route 37 between
Vallejo and Sears Point?
There are no plans at this time to install a concrete divider on State Route 12
from Suisun to Rio Vista.
Are there any plans to put channelizers on State Route 12 between
Rio Vista and Interstate 5?
There are
no plans to place channelizers in this
area at this time.
Are there any plans to make State Route 12 between Interstate 5
and Rio Vista a no-passing and a double fine zone?
State Route 12 from Interstate 80 to Interstate 5 is already a Special
Enforcement – Double Fine Zone.
Why don’t we just make State Route 12 a four lane highway?
The Solano Transportation Authority is currently leading a joint
Multi-jurisdictional Major Investment Study that will help to determine future
plans for State Route 12.
Why don’t we ban large trucks from using State Route 12 between
Interstate 80 and Interstate 5?
As a state transportation agency, Caltrans does not have the authority to ban
vehicles from its roads. Caltrans
does, however, have the ability to restrict usage on its roads to improve
safety. Currently, on State Route
12, only trucks hauling a standard legal load are permitted to use the highway.
Trucks exceeding the standard legal load are required to apply for a
permit.
Are there any plans to replace the Rio Vista Bridge with a four
lane bridge?
The Rio Vista Bridge Preliminary Study that was recently completed identified
several possible bridge replacement alternatives.
Information on these alternatives is available at riovistabridge.com.
The study will be incorporated into the Major Investment Study that is
currently assessing the State Route 12 corridor from Interstate 80 to Interstate 5.
