I narrowly escaped death on 152 westbound last night. Truck jack knifed in front of me against the central divider.. I don't know how, but I managed to swerve into a gap and got through with no contact. Still shaken up.

@akasenally: Wow, be careful out there! Some drivers don't respect the yellow warning signs, advising drivers to slow down to 55 MPH thru those curves, heading westbound down that steep descent.

The whole highway used to be on Casa de Fruita Parkway, it was dangerous pulling out on that road.

[FreewayBrent]

@Coastergeekperson04: Exactly. I only remember being on it once, when I was 5, and strangely enough, I remember CalTrans constructing the adjacent and current 4 lane divided highway. In fact, CalTrans had already completed the overpass, over the connecting road to Casa De Fruita Parkway.

I remember traveling on this road back in 1997 and thinking it was the only logical shortcut to I-5 southbound from San Jose.

[FreewayBrent]

Yeah, it really is. One can take I-680 to I-580, but that certainly involves more time. One could also take CA 198 to I-5, but at that point, you're probably better off just driving all of 101 down to Los Angeles.

This video has a lot going for it, nice soundtrack, a really fun ride with some great visuals and nicely produces, 5*****

Interesting highway. Being the main link from Fresno to San Jose must have made the old highway pretty busy.

haunted???

My dad once recieved a ticket for driving more than 80mph westbound on the expressway segment of this same highway.

[akasenally]

@FreewayBrent Yeah, thanks man.. I think it was a combination of things, blind-ish corner, breakdown on the side of the road with flares on, and glare from the headlights coming up the hill. I think the truck driver was going too fast and panicked. Very lucky indeed...

Nice highway, that's not in Southern California, lol

New driver here. So I drove over 152 last month. The 2 lane section of 152 was bad due to all the trees and the native of 2 lane blood alleys, but what would you caution for on the 4 lane section?

I remember there used to be an old graffiti that read "Carter 76" or "Carter 1976" located on a rocky cliff on the westbound side of the highway between the summit and Casa de Fruita. I just drove on this route recently and looks as though the graffiti was removed, probably by Caltrans.

When I was younger, our family took this route to get on 101 to San Jose. It was nighttime, and the winding road scared me. Now I can see that it is a pleasant drive with some great scenery.
