In a desperate effort to grab up every possible inch of unused concrete to get the Bay Area’s terrible traffic moving again, agencies are pushing to allow buses and possibly carpools to drive on the shoulder of freeways and bridges during the heaviest commute times!
Next year planning groups say Highway 87 through San Jose, Interstate 680 in the East Bay, Highway 101 along the Peninsula, Highway 1 outside Santa Cruz, Interstate 280 in San Mateo County, and the Bay Bridge and Dumbarton Bridge are on the list of vital roads where this change could be implemented.
