I 5 or CH 99

My choice is I5 but don't use CA58 to connect unless you are already west of town. Use CA99N to CA46W to connect to I5.

We are planning on travelling to Sacramento from Bakersfield. Last time we used 99 and it was pretty rough. Is I5 better than 99?

Hwy. 99 has more on and off ramps for locals, so you have to be alert for slow vehicles turning off and getting on. On I-5 you can maintain a more constant average speed. Both highways are equally smooth and bumpy.

I5

We took I-5 during the Christmas holiday and the traffic was terrible south of the 580 interchange until we turned left towards Bakersfield. Trust it was because of the holidays.
