About the Project

Stanislaus County aims to reduce collisions, ease traffic flow, and enhance overall driver safety by:

  • Adding a traffic signal to the intersection of Golden State Boulevard and Golf Road.

  • Upgrading the Paulson Road and South Berkeley Avenue intersection with traffic signals and lane widening. All traffic signals will be coordinated with railroad traffic to reduce delays and improve safety.

  • Adding a new right-in/right-out intersection and raised concrete median, limiting left turns for northbound access from Golf Road to South 1st Street.

  • Adding U-turns at the new signalized Golf Road intersection to provide access to northbound South 1st Street from Golf Road. A separate right-in/right-out access to Golden State Boulevard from South 1st Street will also be added.
