What to expect on the roads this route covers

This route strings together three different highways in quick succession: it briefly joins I-280 North, exits onto CA-1 South toward Pacifica, then exits again onto CA-35 North toward Skyline Boulevard, three separate highway transitions packed into the middle of the drive. Mission Street, signed as CA-82, is the longest surface-street stretch at 1.14 miles. With 25 turns across just 6.88 miles, this is also one of the most turn-dense routes in this area. Building Kidz preschool sits on 92nd Street, used twice by this route, and Westmoor High School sits directly on Westmoor Avenue, also used twice, so expect school-zone traffic on two separate streets.

Tips for this specific route

• Practice back-to-back highway transitions. This route joins I-280 North, exits onto CA-1 South, then exits again onto CA-35 North, three separate highway changes packed into the middle of the drive, more than any other route in this area.
• Treat Mission Street as a busy stretch. Signed as CA-82, it's the longest surface-street segment on the route at 1.14 miles.
• Don't expect long gaps between turns. This route packs 25 turns into just 6.88 miles, one of the most turn-dense routes covered so far.
• Watch for school-zone traffic on two separate streets. Building Kidz preschool sits on 92nd Street and Westmoor High School sits on Westmoor Avenue, both used twice by this route.
• Drive smoothly and confidently. Hesitation at intersections is marked the same way poor decision making is.
