Crazy, Confusing, Cal Trans Bicycle Signs at Point
San Quentin - Anderson/Sir Frances Drake
 |
| Official
Bike Route, i.e., unprotected shoulder along I-580,
from Anderson Drive to Point San Quentin at point
of entry for cars and bicycles is shown. You
must ride along the freeway to get home. This
is your route to bus stop at Point San Quentin. A
Golden Gate Transit bus line 40 or 42 is the current
and only method for bicyclists, other than with private
vehicles, to get across the Richmond / San Rafael
Bridge on a bike. This is the Cal Trans designated
and marked route for those coming through southern
Marin and central areas such as Fairfax, San Anselmo,
Larkspur, Ross, Greenbrae, Bret Harte, and Kentfield
to get to points East. Those in the East Bay
looking to visit points West such as the State and
National Park areas such as Mount Tamalpais, Mount
Wittenburg, Stinson Beach, Point Reyes, Fort Baker,
Marin Headlands, and other attractions must also
ride along this designated portion of the freeway
to reach the Golden Gate Bus Stop to get over the
RSR bridge on the return trip East. Do you
find this signage Crazy and Confusing? Would
certain drivers be upset to see bicyclists “entering” the
freeway on this blind radius turn? ~ Craig
