Location: SR 221 and SR 14, Paterson, Benton Cty

No reassurance shield at the beginning of 221, though there used to be one in 2008. SR 221 carries a ton of truck traffic from the aggrarian areas along the Prosser-Paterson corridor to Hermiston, Oregon. As such t’s a pretty nice road. Very wide with speed limits of 65- not what you would assume looking at the map where it just looks like a backroad
