  El Camino Real (California) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
El Camino Real (Spanish for "The Kings Highway") traditionally refers to the 600–mile (966–kilometer) long California Mission Trail between Mission San Diego de Alcalá in San Diego and Mission San Francisco Solano in Sonoma.
The iconic status of El Camino Real on the San Francisco Peninsula (where it is signed as Route 82, and usually abbreviated as El Camino) is such that navigation is usually done relative to it, and it defines logical north and south in the area, even though it is closer to north-west/south-east.
In the FORTRAN language, a 'real' is a number typically precise to seven significant figures, and a `double precision' quantity is a larger floating-point number, precise to perhaps fourteen significant digits (other languages have similar 'real' types).

 Editorial: Don't confuse trees, (July 24, 2002)
El Camino is no longer the sole north-south arterial that it was, say, a half-century ago when state standards were set in concrete for such highways.
Just so, the limiting reality for El Camino is likely to be the tide of traffic -- and the fear of residents that pinching major arterials will cause that tide to overflow into side streets, where they live.
The alternative of reducing portions of El Camino to four lanes would only apply to stretches "where additional space could best serve the multimodal and aesthetic goals of the project and the additional lanes are not needed for traffic," the staff report notes.
