G11 West (San Juan Road) in California

This is a right turn off US101 South. To get to this road from US101 North, you have to make a U turn further up the road. Likewise, if you are taking G11 East, you can only turn right onto US101 South. The section of US101 near G11 is not a freeway and some improvements were made here (decades overdue) on US101. This route is much faster than 152 (from US101 to Highway 1), and it is faster than even 129, with its array of slower turns. The grade has passing lanes on both sides. I've never done this east bound so I don't know how steep the other side is.

It runs through several housing developments and has a good vista (shown in this picture) of the coastline.
It then goes through Pajaro, a town that flooded in the soggy El Niño years of the 1990s. There is access to 129 and 1 in the Pajaro and Watsonville area. This set is from 4/26/2011 and July 1996.

This is just past US101. This gas station was taken out to make the new interchange.

This is just past US101 and by Dunbarton Road.
