CHP cracks down on speeders on I-280 (Mercury News )

Be forewarned: The California Highway Patrol has dispatched a “speed team” to a stretch of 280 between Mountain View and San Bruno with instructions to pull over and ticket vehicles going even 5 mph over the posted speed limit this afternoon.

The crackdown is part of a larger Bay Area campaign by the CHP moving from place to place that is aimed at getting motorists to ease off the accelerator a bit.

I did go that way for the first few months at Network ICE, when I was renting a room in Pacifica before we found and moved into our apartment in San Mateo. It is a beautiful drive, and people do indeed drive way too fast on parts of that freeway.
