Moving yourself

  • Bicycling is another option. Although Woodland is reasonably flat, biking is nowhere near as common in Woodland as in Davis. Bike racks are unusual.
  • Walking is a surprisingly good option in many parts of town.
  • Horses are a form of transportation, technically.

Highways

County Roads

Woodland's street system is overlaid on top of a larger perpendicular grid of numbered county roads. County roads that do not have a letter after the number are spaced exactly one mile apart from each other. County roads with letters after the number may run parallel to that numbered road or may run diagonally. North-south roads have numbers from 83 to 117 (though only 98 to 102 make contact with Woodland), and their numbers increase from west to east. East-west roads have numbers from 1 to 38a (and randomly 152 and 155; however, only 18C through 25A make contact with Woodland), and their numbers increase from north to south.

Also see the DavisWiki page on Yolo County's County Roads.

Streets with Multiple Names

Most of the major thoroughfares in Woodland are known by multiple names. Streets that cross East Street and/or West Street have their names prefixed with "East" east of East Street and with "West" west of West Street. Streets that cross Beamer Street (curiously, not North Street) have their names prefixed with "North" north of Beamer Street. The largest streets that extend out of town also have names in the "County Road [Number]" format, which they're known by outside of the city limits. These seemingly slight name changes are very important to get right, because the address numbers used on, say, Main Street are used again on East Main Street and West Main Street, signifying different buildings distinguished only by the "East" or "West" in the street names. However, for the purposes of this LocalWiki, information on streets such as East Main Street and West Main Street will be listed under subheadings on the Main Street page rather than on separate pages.

Other Noteworthy Streets

Unlike in many other cities, the numbered and lettered streets in Woodland (not including the County Roads) do not intersect with one another, and the lettered streets in particular are not at all major streets. The lettered streets are located on the opposite side of East Street from the numbered streets.

Also see the Interesting Street Names page for lists of streets named after birds, plants, or places.
