Study: Suisun Valley roads mostly adequate but southern segment could see weekend/harvest congestion A county traffic capacity analysis found Suisun Valley Road generally operates at acceptable levels of service but identified Segment A (Solano College to Rockville Road) as vulnerable to Saturday and harvest-season congestion if the area builds out aggressively; staff recommended targeted improvements and pursuing grants.

Suisun Valley Road is operating well on weekdays, but weekend traffic could soon become a nightmare—especially during harvest season—if development plans move forward without crucial improvements.
