"Bring your snow tires"

Like Livermore, I-580 has some of the worst road conditions that I have ever seen - and I don't just mean traffic. With the amount of potholes, bumps, and generally gritty terrain, you would think that Dublin saw snow as often as Massachusetts (for those of you who are unaware of climates, it may see snow once a decade as a phenomenon). As an owner of an old car, this is especially challenging.

Aside from this, 580 is fine. Sure, traffic is busy during rush hour, but considering Dublin sees the 580-680 junction, it could be considerably worse. The heat in the summer can be a shock for those who are not from here, but turn on the air conditioner in your rattled car and you will be fine. Overall, there are worse interstates. I just wish they would do something to smooth this one out.
Pros
  • Central location
  • Good town
  • Acceptable traffic
Cons
  • Terrible road maintenance
  • Not for the young and hip
  • Not much nature
