Heavy rains flood Sacramento-area roadways, trigger brief regional flood advisory
Heavy rain pounding the Sacramento area began to swamp local roads and triggered a regional flood advisory Friday afternoon with the California Highway Patrol reporting numerous calls of roadway flooding across the region. The advisory is in place until 5 p.m. The National Weather Service in Sacramento reported urban, roadway, and small stream flooding and forecast in low-lying areas and areas with poor drainage. “Rain will taper off by 5 p.m., but rain impacts may linger through the evening,” National Weather Service forecasters said in a social media post about 2:20 p.m. Forecasters anticipated wet, windy weather into Friday evening with more stormy weather ahead Sunday and into the work week. The National Weather Service announced a winter storm warning for the higher elevations until 10 a.m. Saturday, with up to a foot of snow above 6,000 feet, 18 inches at the highest Sierra peaks, and as much as 2 inches of snow down to 5,000 feet. Flooding was reported in a number of locations in Sacramento, Placer, El Dorado and Yolo counties in little more than an hour’s time after 1 p.m., during the heaviest of the rainfall, according to CHP traffic logs reviewed by The Sacramento Bee.

This was the second reading of the ordinance, which has not changed since it was officially proposed in October . Thirty days following the council’s approval, riders will not be able to carry passengers on devices without a proper seat, swerve around traffic or perform “stunt and trick riding” such as wheelies or “acrobatic” tricks. The devices will also be banned from playgrounds and sports courts and fields, but would still be allowed on paved paths in parks under a reduced speed limit of 10 mph. Folsom has more than 50 miles of Class I paved trails — multiuse, off-street paths — some of which are within parks. Bike paths not in parks will have a speed limit of 15 mph. Motorized bicycles, which fall under the same definition as “moped” in the
