"What?! This is One of Three Dawn Drives in this Area!"
- roadstaken
As a visitor to this area, I have to say that there needs to be some serious renaming of streets in this area. There are no fewer than THREE Dawn Drives in about a half-mile radius. The Dawn Drive t...

"Nothing special, but the farmers' market is nice"

This street is nothing special but it is where you can find the farmers’ market. It isn’t a big fancy one, but it does have some great organic produce and some fun stalls. Modesto is the center of a b...

"Small air port road"

This is the street that modesto's county air port is on, this is by no means a large air port but you can catch a shuttle here to SFO and from there get a regular flight. There no much to say about th...
"Awesome, Wide, Treelined street!!"

This street is one of the widest streets I have ever seen. Its a treelined street and a block away from a huge, popular park. The houses on it are rather huge and most of the occupants are the origina...
"From run down to upscale - Needham has both"
- friedclam
Needham Street is a long street that runs the economic gamut. It isn’t the nicest place in the western end. It doesn’t look unsafe, just run down, with old liquor stores, auto repair places, and smal...
"Small 2 lane road"

This is a small little road with only 2 lanes, theres not much traffic on it which is nice. This is a residentual area and the only real thing to see off of it is mancini park. I dont know why they ca...

One of Modesto’s main thoroughfares, Briggsmore Avenue is the fastest way to cross town, as long as you’re going east or west. Briggsmore has possibly scaled most admirably of all large roads in town...

Stoddard Avenue is a nice, tree-lined street. It is very nice, residential place. Also, it is not very congested. Anytime we drove down, we had no problem. It is also home to Modesto Junior College, w...
"John, Paul, Ringo, George?"
- Bensdad
I have a confession to make. I'll often look at my travel map and visit places based solely on their name. Take Penny Lane for example. What self-confessed Beatles lover would miss an opportunity to v...
"The street that takes you everywhere you need to go!"
- kteg
This is one of the main roads that take you from one end of Modesto to the other. The speed limit is 45 or so but everyone does 50+. The traffic builds up around major intersections but other than tha...

Kruger is a straight shot down Rose Ave. from Briggsmore, so it's easily accessible from major roads but extremely suburban. The houses on the street are well-maintained and there are quite a few tre...
