How bad is it to drive to the San Francisco Bay Area? |
Travel Info I will be driving from Chicago on Route-80 in the summer. I know that the trip will be 30 hours of driving, according to mapquest. Everyone says that California drivers are so bad, so I will drive in the night when I get to the California border. Is Califonia driving as bad as people say it is? Also, I am only 18 years old. Travel Tips It's not bad. Just know where you're going. Don't use the carpool lane unless you have more than 1 person in the car with you. I'm from Missouri, but I was last August and it was really not a problem. Have Fun! Others not that bad... I live their. The parking is what you need to look out for. The amount of traffic varies a lot according to the time of day. There's traffic 24 hours a day, but from 3 pm until 8 pm it's really bad in the San Francisco bay area. California does have a lot of aggressive drivers. The traffic is heavy and it moves fast. Just be super cautious, stay in the slow lane so they can go around you and be alert. They have lanes with a diamond shape painted on it, meant for carpooling. That means two or more in the car. Stay out of those lanes in the day time if you're alone. You should be fine if you're not out in the fast lane, drive defensively and stay alert. drives in bay area for a few weeks every year it isn't that bad as long as you have great brakes Its not that bad...plus u'r coming from a big city,your probably use to it!! And coming at night would be better..if it makes u feel better San Francisco is not as bad as Southern California. Once you leave the freeway, the city streets are decent and you can't get going that fast. You do have to watch out for Cable Cars and it can be hard to find parking. You might want to park and ride the Cable Cars to do any sight seeing. |
