Gateway Drive is the Madera stretch of Golden State Highway.  Much of CA 99 is followed by its previous routing as US 99.  There still are present a few signs designating Gateway Drive as “Business CA 99.”

Exit 151 is a major junction with Avenue 12, which leads through Madera Ranchos to Yosemite and Fresno’s Northern entrance via CA 41.  Note the new ultra reflective sign with the exit number and the pre-2000 button copy sign without the exit number.

Shaw Avenue, formerly CA 168 from CA 41 to Clovis Avenue, is one of Fresno’s busiest thoroughfares second only to Herndon Avenue two miles to the north.  The traffic lights were synchronized between Blackstone Avenue and Golden State Highway by time I was of temporary Fresno residence in Summer 2004.  The interchange has been scheduled for major upgrades for around 2006-2008.

Jensen Avenue (access to CA 41 North and South) was the only way to access CA 41 before 1998 when he freeway was extended to about two miles south of CA 99.  The 99/41 intersection is not a full intersection, meaning that a driver may not be able to change directly from one freeway to the other without using surface streets.  Thus, Jensen Avenue remains the only means of meeting CA 41 South from CA 99—only CA 41 North can be directly accessed.  Freeway CA 180 (which CA 99 meets several miles to the north) serves as a freeway link between CA 99 and CA 41, providing interchange in all directions.  Yet, as the second picture to the left suggests, I would recommend use of Jensen due to the fact that CA 41 lies only ½ mile to the west immediately after exiting CA 99.
