I-- 280, Serramonte

For a major interstate that runs through an even more major city, 280 is not so bad. Daly City is just about the last suburbia stop before hitting San Francisco, and is quite busy as well. Normally, even during rush hour, it is not too crowded coming in. If you are avoiding downtown SF and just trying to get to the western part of the city, this is the place for it. If you are a downtown commuter, you can get to work from here, too.

Traffic always seems to be worse going southbound, for some reason. Even when it is not a traditional rush hour time, 280 south seems to get hit with the standard congestion that one would expect. It is also slightly more industrial and less scenic here than in neighboring stretches of highway down south, but it is a manageable freeway nonetheless.
