Then you pile on by adding, “Lane-splitting at low speeds … does not catch motorists by surprise.” Are you kidding me? This is exactly the problem each of you choose to ignore. The Bay Area has some of the worse commutes in the nation, and drivers here do an excellent job navigating the freeways to and from work each day. Alfonso states “most drivers have really poor driving skills.” How ridiculous. No one is in favor of lane-splitting and all detest it. Q I am finally angry enough to write you! In response to the email from a motorcyclist, Phil Alfonso, and your inept defense on lane-splitting, I offer up my comments: at the Marina Green.Īdded Bond-the-S.F.-Traffic-Man: “Bay to Breakers day is not a good day to be driving in San Francisco.” The Alcatraz swim starts at 7:50 a.m., and the bike race begins at 8:15 a.m. Try Caltrain and BART as well, as extra trains will be running. The Bay to Breakers race begins at 7 a.m., but street closures begin much earlier. The city will try to keep The Embarcadero open at all times, but sometimes the crowd of runners waiting behind the starting line backs up onto The Embarcadero and blocks it.ĭrivers should allow plenty of time, as traffic will be very slow through the area at The Embarcadero and Howard Street and State Route 1. Turn left on either Bay or North Point streets to reach Fisherman’s Wharf and the Marina district. Or use northbound Interstate 280 to King Street northbound to The Embarcadero. State Route 1 is the only north-south road that is grade-separated and thus passes over the race course and stays open all day. Turn left on Bay Street for the Marina Green or right on North Point Street for Fisherman’s Wharf. Take eastbound Geary to Van Ness Avenue and turn left. Use northbound Highway 1 through Golden Gate Park and turn right on Geary Boulevard.
