The only times I have ever been to San Jose before were work-related and the commute was about 40 minutes from my home in the East Bay, maybe an hour in peak traffic. This photo I took of my GPS (while I was stopped in traffic, of course) shows by the yellow squares which road not to take. I took the fastest way instead,and still didn’t get home for 3 hours.
They can get there, Barb, but it takes them longer.
Not sure how reply is working today, but I’m hoping the ambulances can get to that hospital.
I remember how bad the traffic used to be when I drove from Pleasanton to Fremont to do a book fair for a week every year. I can’t remember which was worse — coming or going. The worst was when I injured myself while setting up and had to drive myself to an urgent care center in great pain trying to find my way around. I’m not even sure they had GPS then.
Yes, and one of the hospitals is now tricky to get to because the “neighborhoods” got tired of the traffic and put up barriers.
