Whether you're walking, cycling, or driving, the central city's simple street grid system, with numbered north-south streets and lettered east-west streets, makes navigation easy. With four major freeways -- Interstates 5 and 80, U.S. 50, and Route 99 -- it's fairly easy to bypass city driving when heading for attractions outside the downtown area
