- nostrademons 11y agoNot in Mountain View & Sunnyvale. The peninsula curves around at the bottom, so north/south routes like 101, 82 (El Camino), and 280 go mostly east/west, with 85 branching off as a north/south spur. The "north" side of 101 is the side closest to the Bay, where Google is. Throws a lot of visitors for a loop.
- toast0 11y agoThrough the peninsula, especially in mountain view, it runs from southeast to northwest, north is towards the bay; south is towards the mountains. ca-85 is much closer to north/south through mountain view.
- DrScump 11y ago... until it's East/West from Saratoga on. It gets more fun in the East Bay: you can be going Eastbound on 580 and Westbound on 80 at the same time (it's a shared road)!
- DrScump 11y ago101 is more East/West at that point, until it bends around the bay at Whipple. That whole area is direction-impaired. The city of East Palo Alto is northwest of Palo Alto and in a different county!
- throwaway60453 11y agoYeah, San Carlos air traffic controllers get pissy when you announce northbound over the 101 and you're really flying due west, with the sun in your face even.
- DrScump 11y agoIf you really call it "the 101", they will peg you as being from SoCal.
