Plus, a reader asks about fixing a dangerous intersection in the South Bay
Flooding on Interstate 880 just south of Thornton Ave closed all lanes in Fremont, Calif., on Sunday, March 12, 2023. I commute on Interstate 880 in the South Bay. A while back, Caltrans changed the metering light strategy. Please tell me this is some experiment gone wrong that will soon go away. As I drive to work at 5 a.m. with minimal traffic, the lights are all on, slowing any poor car trying to merge onto the freeway. Same thing on my way home.
Parked cars with no occupants are the most dangerous bike lane violators. Drivers who stop in bike lanes to use cell phones are almost as bad, but usually leave after several minutes.Historically, one of the busiest intersections in Santa Clara County is Almaden Expressway and Blossom Hill Road. The problem here is red light runners. Almost daily, I see people running the lights. It has gotten so bad that I recently counted six cars running the light at one time.
Before there is a major fatality here, I would like the city and county to study road-calming changes that could reduce the risk of driving through this dangerous intersection.I’ve got a first-world problem. I commute over Highway 17 to work in Los Altos. Northbound, just south of Lexington Reservoir, a sign says “Road work, speed limit 40.” It has been there for years. There is no road work. Everyone knows to ignore it, except my dumb self-driving Tesla. It reads the sign and slows dangerously.
