The Napa County Mosquito Abatement District Board is the Governing Body of the Mosquito Abatement District which provides mosquito/vector control services for the County of Napa.
 
The Board consists of six members: one of whom represents the City of Napa. The City Council of the City of Napa appoints one member to the Board of Trustees to serve as the City’s representative.  All other members represent the other governmental jurisdictions in the County of Napa in addition to one member representing the County at-large.

Roundabout Update

Navigating Napa's Roundabouts - Slow Down, Look and Yield

The directional change (couplet flip) of First and Second Streets, between California Boulevard and Jefferson Street is complete. First Street is now a one-way street with traffic heading eastbound (towards downtown), and Second Street is a one-way street with traffic heading westbound (towards SR29). This effort will also include new changes to the existing traffic signals at First and Second Streets at Jefferson Street to accommodate the directional change.

We anticipate that California Boulevard will be open between Second and Third Streets by the end of January, and the third roundabout is expected to open sometime in early to mid-February. Of course, this schedule is weather permitting and significant wet weather could delay this timeline.

Here are some tips on how to navigate the roundabouts:

• SLOW DOWN as you approach the roundabout and watch for pedestrians and cyclists in the crosswalks.
• Continue toward the roundabout and LOOK to your left as you near the yield sign and yield limit line at the entrance to the roundabout.
• YIELD to traffic already in the roundabout.
• Once you see a gap in traffic and it is safe to proceed, enter the circle (in a counter-clockwise direction) and proceed to your exit. If there is no traffic in the roundabout, you may enter without yielding.
• Look for pedestrians and cyclists in crosswalks as you prepare to exit, use your turn signal before you exit, and make sure to stay in your lane as you navigate the roundabout.
•  Proceed and exit the roundabout.

As a reminder, the definition of “YIELD” from the California Driver Handbook says:
“A 3-sided red YIELD sign indicates that you must slow down and be ready to stop, if necessary, to let any vehicle, bicyclist, or pedestrian pass before you proceed.”
