U.S. Route 395 (US 395) is a north–south US Highway in northern and southern California, western Nevada, and eastern Oregon and Washington in American Truck Simulator. It runs from SR 14 and SR 58 between Bakersfield and Barstow to SR 20 in Barney's Junction. In real life, US 395 runs 1305 miles (2100 km) from Interstate 15 near Hesperia, CA, to the Canadian border at Laurier, WA.

Course

US 395 in ATS begins at its intersection with CA 58 in Antelope Valley, a region in the western Mojave Desert of southern California. The 395's junction with the 58 is further west in the game than in real life, and serves as a continuation from CA 14. After leaving Antelope Valley, the highway enters the Owens Valley, a long desert corridor that runs along the edge of the Sierra Nevada, the summit of which being Mt. Whitney, the highest point of the Contiguous US. This passage along the edge of the Great Basin features a few towns, each with a road meeting with the highway: at Olancha is CA 190, which heads to Death Valley; at Independence is a fictional road that crosses downscaled mountains to Fresno; and at Bishop is US 6, which begins its run to the Atlantic Ocean. At Mono Lake, CA 120 heads to Oakdale via Tioga Pass through Yosemite National Park, and at Topaz Lake the 395 enters Nevada.

Soon after crossing the state line the highway meets US 50, and shortly afterwards runs through Carson City, the state capital. Out of Carson City, the 395 begins a concurrency with Interstate 580 that ends at Reno, where it intersects with Interstate 80. North of I-80 the 395 continues as a freeway for a short distance before it narrows back down, soon re-entering California. At CA 44 the 395 heads north at a TOTSO to Alturas, where it meets CA 299. After crossing the North Fork Pit and running along Goose Lake, the highway enters Oregon.

At the feet of the Eagle Mountains the highway runs through Lakeview, where it intersects with OR 140 and shortly afterwards passes below high bluffs along Lake Albert. After running through the Harney Basin it begins running concurrent with US 20 at Riley, this concurrency ending north of Burns. From there the highway heads across the Blue Mountains, a scenic route with many grades and switchbacks. The highway crosses the Strawberry Range (a subrange of the Blues) via Starr Ridge, and descends to John Day, where it runs concurrent with US 26 to Mount Vernon. From there the 395 continues north to Ritter Butte Summit (3993 ft), where there is a viewpoint, and drops down to Pendleton via the North Fork John Day River. The highway then runs concurrent with Interstate 84, until, as the 395 runs in the game, Interstate 82. The 395 follows I-82 over the Columbia River into Washington.

The 395 breaks from I-82 at Kennewick, which it runs through to the Pioneer Memorial Bridge, where it crosses the Columbia for a second time. At Pasco, the highway runs concurrent with US 12 for a short stretch, afterwards setting off across the Columbia Plateau. At Ritzville the highway begins a concurrency with Interstate 90, which ends in Spokane, where the 395 continues concurrent with US 2 for a ways. The 395 then continues through the Selkirk Mountains to Colville, after which it soon crosses the Columbia for a third time and terminates at its intersection with WA 20 at Barney's Junction.

History

  • In update 1.5, as part of the 1:35 to 1:20 map rescale, new sections were added to the existing route to accommodate the new map scale, including the two four-lane sections and the intermediate two-lane section north of the south terminus. The south terminus was changed to a five-ramp partial cloverleaf interchange that connected with SR 14 and was moved to the east. The at-grade three-way junction with a road to a Chemso depot was moved to the south to SR 14. The section north of the unnamed road to Fresno was straightened and the two sections of US 395 were connected at the former north terminus of the first section, which was moved to the west terminus of US 6 west of Tonopah and became Bishop. The at-grade four-way junction in Carson City that marked the south end of the Interstate 580 concurrency was changed to a half-trumpet interchange, and the diamond interchange with Interstate 80 in Reno that marked the north end of the Interstate 580 concurrency was changed to a "Spaghetti Bowl" junction. The north terminus in California was truncated as SR 299 was extended east.
  • In version 1.31, the at-grade four-way junction with SR 120 was added. In northern California, an at-grade three-way junction was added that marked the junction with and the east terminus of SR 299 and from which US 395 was extended north to Oregon.
  • In update 1.33, the concurrency with OR 140 and an inaccessible at-grade three-way junction at the north end of the concurrency were added.
  • In update 1.34, the at-grade three-way junction at the north end of the OR 140 concurrency was made accessible.
