Here's the relevant section from the CA vehicle code:
"V C Section 21656 Turning Out of Slow Moving Vehicles
Turning Out of Slow-Moving Vehicles
21656. On a two-lane highway where passing is unsafe because of traffic in the opposite direction or other conditions, a slow-moving vehicle, including a passenger vehicle, behind which five or more vehicles are formed in line, shall turn off the roadway at the nearest place designated as a turnout by signs erected by the authority having jurisdiction over the highway, or wherever sufficient area for a safe turnout exists, in order to permit the vehicles following it to proceed. As used in this section a slow-moving vehicle is one which is proceeding at a rate of speed less than the normal flow of traffic at the particular time and place.
Amended Ch. 448, Stats. 1965. Effective September 17, 1965."

I agree with RognBon that if there *is* a sign stating that a slower-moving vehicle must pull over when followed by ONE vehicle who's in a big yank to get to wherever, it's likely a "homegrown"; 20 is the only (direct) route between Fort Bragg and Willets.
