Where the area reaches
Atascadero sits in the upper Salinas Valley, between the Salinas River to the east and the Santa Lucia Range to the west. U.S. Route 101 runs north-south through town, and El Camino Real is the main commercial street. State Routes 41, 46 and 58 connect to the highway around the region.
Nearby towns by road
- Templeton, 6.8 miles away, lies north on U.S. 101. State Route 46 meets the highway at its north edge.
- Paso Robles, 10.8 miles away, is farther north on U.S. 101 along the Salinas River. U.S. 101 and State Route 46 both serve the city.
- Santa Margarita, 10.2 miles away, is south on State Route 58, just off U.S. 101 at the top of the Cuesta Grade.
- Morro Bay, 17.4 miles away, is reached on State Route 41 over the Santa Lucia Range, then Highway 1.
Roads that call for extra detail
Highway 41 toward Morro Bay is a winding two-lane road with few safe places to pull over. If you are stopped on it, tell the dispatcher which direction you were heading and what you can see nearby.
Summer afternoons often reach 95 to 100 degrees, and heat can wear down weak batteries. Rain falls mostly from November to March, which can make hillside roads west of El Camino Real slick and muddy. Valley fog can also settle in, so landmarks may be harder to see.
How to describe your location
Start with the road and your direction of travel, such as northbound on U.S. 101. Add the nearest cross street, exit or landmark. In town, that might be Traffic Way, Del Rio Road, Santa Rosa Road, Atascadero Lake Park or the Atascadero Transit Center.
Then share your vehicle's year, make and model, whether it rolls and steers, and where you want it taken. Heavy rigs like RVs and trailers need weight and length details first.
The dispatcher quotes the price on the phone before a truck is sent. If you can, get fully off the road and turn on your hazard lights. Call 911 first if anyone is hurt or the road is blocked, then call (805) 391-5157 for a tow.
