I have to drive to the Sac area (Roseville, to be specific) on tuesday for a business meeting, and I need to pick a route.

Keeping in mind that I'm starting from Dayton, my two options are:

1) Drive into Carson, then take the 395 to Reno and from there take the 80 down to Roseville. According to Google maps, this is about 160mi and nearly 3 hours. I'm familiar with this route.

2) Drive through Carson, take the 50 westbound past Placerville and make a beeline into Roseville. Google says this is about 134mi, but nearly 4 hours (3 of those just to get to Placerville).

Any tips? I've driven 80 into Sac before, but not the 50. What's the speed limit for most of highway 50 west?
