Question About Hwy 101 in Oregon

I am following Hwy 101 from San Francisco up to Seattle. I pull a high fiver so I always check my Trucker's Atlas and make sure to stay on the yellow high-lighted roads because the big trucks can drive down those roads with no height or width problems.

I just checked, and for some reason, the section of Hwy 101 between Lincoln City, Oregon and Tillamook, Oregon is NOT highlighted. It is listed as a 'Restricted Route' in the Atlas, but I don't know what that means.

According to the Atlas, there are no clearances less then 14 ft.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

    Wife and I took 101 from Ukiah CA to Lincoln City (Cape Kiwanda RV Park last August. We came across a curved 10.5' tall bridge N of Coos Bay. It was 10.5 ft on the curbside only so We straddled the double yellow as it had 1 N and 1 S lane and narrow. Slowed down and timed it for solo xing. We have a 39 ft Keystone Alpine 5er that is 13 ft tall at roof sat antenna. Some hairpins around Gold Beach OR. Great trip!!!

    Only tunnel I know of on Oregon 101 is between Cannon Beach and Seaside. It won't be an issue for you.

    Scenery is spectacular.

    That might be the section with the tunnel. It's not an issue, but it's why it might be marked "restricted"
