Have you crossed the Golden Gate Bridge lately? If yes, then you probably noticed the massive Doyle Drive construction project taking over the Presidio. The Doyle Drive project seems to be a big improvement for San Francisco, as well as a supply of jobs for locals. It's aimed at improving eroding structures and adding a more environmentally friendly roadway. However, commuters are bearing the load of this new project by driving in traffic and on dangerous roadways.
In order to build Presidio Parkway, t
he new design for Route 101, they closed the ramp from northbound Park Presidio and Highway 1 to southbound Doyle Drive. Park Presidio includes new lane changes and configurations. The part that seems to cause most of the traffic, however, is the constant changing of Nineteenth Avenue exit and entrance lanes, and sometimes their complete closure.

The part that seems to cause most of the traffic, however, is the constant changing of Nineteenth Avenue exit and entrance lanes, and sometimes their complete closure. The lanes change each time a new phase in construction occurs. Sometimes commuters don't realize it's changed until they drive through--or in some cases, almost crash. Speed limits have been reduced to help prevent crashes, but lowering speeds add to the traffic. My advice: get on the road before peak commute times and stay alert for lane changes.
