San Mateo-Hayward Bridge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The experience of driving over the bridge from the Hayward side into San Mateo is similar to driving over a very long causeway, followed by a large, steep hill. It is roughly parallel to and lies between the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge and the Dumbarton Bridge, and is sometimes used by commuters to avoid traffic delays due to emergencies on those bridges. The eastern end of the bridge is in Hayward. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Hayward-San_Mateo_Bridge   (571 words)

Meeting Minutes This bridge is a lifeline for San Mateo County and, frankly, for the rest of the Bay Area and the growing economy. Bridges are kind of ideal because there are no stop signs, no car doors opening in front of you, no cross traffic which is where most of the collisions occur, so it is important to take that into account. Because the toll bridge has a surcharge versus using gas tax money to build transportation facilities, the freeways and the conventional highways etc. In that regard, when on land and there is a bicycle facility that is necessary, we go ahead and provide that without a permit requirement from the regulatory agencies. www.bcdc.ca.gov /nam/comm/1999/040199cm.htm   (21318 words)
