UKIAH – Caltrans announced today that motorists northbound on Route 101 through Ukiah will see three new signs beginning Wednesday, May 19.

Two of the signs will say, “THRU TRAFFIC USE LEFT LANE.”

They are intended to help the flow of traffic by reducing conflicts with traffic exiting and entering the highway.

The first sign will be placed about a quarter mile south of the Route 101/222 interchange, and the second about a quarter mile south of the Route 101/North State Street interchange.

The third sign says, “MERGING TRAFFIC AHEAD.” It will be placed just before the North State Street on-ramp to warn motorists of traffic entering the highway from North State Street.
