 'Saturation patrols' cut injuries, accidents / Dramatic success along Highway 17
Following its success on Highway 17, the CHP is expanding the intensified patrols to other hazardous Bay Area commutes: Contra Costa County's Highway 4, the North Bay's Highway 37 and the Golden Gate and Benicia-Martinez bridges, said regional CHP spokesman Pete Barra.
The CHP is using a carrot-and-stick strategy on Highway 17 and other enforcement campaigns: It has posted signs warning drivers of doubled fines for moving violations on several Bay Area bridges undergoing earthquake- proofing and highway construction zones, like the widening project on busy Highway 4 between Concord and Oakley that has frustrated impatient commuters.
An additional $31 million is earmarked for broadening highway lanes and shoulders and to add concrete guardrails and a new northbound turnout for disabled cars near the Vine Hill exit.

 California State Route 17 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
State Route 17 commonly known locally as Highway 17, is a freeway and expressway that runs between San Jose and Santa Cruz in the U.S. State of California.
Highway 17 was opened in 1940, replacing several other modes of transportation, including the old Glenwood Highway from 1919 (which still exists in the sleepy town of Glenwood), and the railroad which went all the way from Santa Cruz to San Francisco and Oakland.
Additionally, Highway 17 between Interstate 280 in San Jose and the freeway's new northern terminus in Oakland was re-designated as Interstate 880 later that year.

 Highway 17 (Ontario) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
However, a section of Highway 17 "disappeared" when the Ottawa section of it was upgraded to the freeway Highway 417 in 1971.

Once constructed, the majority of the old route of Highway 11/17 will be simply numbered as Highway 11, while the short distance of existing Highway 17 between Raith and Shabaqua will be designated as a continuation of Highway 102.

Most of the length of the new highway was constructed about 1,000 yards east of the old road location in order to limit disturbance to the Great Dismal Swamp Wildlife Refuge and surrounding forests and wetlands.

 Henry G. Shirley Memorial Highway
This highway was originally I-95, and it was redesignated I-395 in 1977 because of the rerouting of I-95 to the eastern half of the Capital Beltway, done because of the cancellation of proposed I-95 from New York Avenue in the District of Columbia, northward into Prince George's County to the I-495 Capital Beltway.
Shirley Highway is I-95 south of the Beltway, and is I-395 north of the Beltway.
