Food for thought

An interesting sign on seen all along Route 1:


Since much of Route 1 is just barely 25 to 50 feet above sea level, I can see the need for the warning. But—and it’s a big one—there are few roads east to higher ground (that is more than 100 feet above sea level) and to get to them requires traveling Route 1. And you better hope and pray you can get ONRoute 1.

In and around Half Moon Bay you are NEVER going to do so in a hurry if you need to make a left turn onto the highway. There are not enough traffic lights to produce breaks in the stream of vehicles along the highway and when you need to produce TWO synchronized breaks (one in each lane) so you can make the left turn onto Route 1…well, you better have a lunch and some beverage in the car with you because you could be waiting a very long time.

And the locals have fought to prevent the installation of stop lights...and won! They must have a great deal of free time on their hands
