Protection Measures Selection Tool

Observe posted speed limit signs on local roads and observe a 15-mph speed limit within 200 feet of suitable San Francisco garter snake habitat, unless measures have been taken to exclude San Francisco garter snake from the work area, and have been confirmed by the USFWS-Approved Biologist. Drivers will stop for snakes on the roadway and wait for the snake to leave on its own or drive around, completely avoiding the snake.
