How will side street traffic (at streets without roundabouts or signals) be able to enter Embarcadero Road?
As with entries from driveways on Embarcadero, the more continuous flow of traffic induced by the reduction of traffic lanes from four lanes to two will reduce the number of gaps in traffic, and thus drivers entering the street will have to wait longer to find a suitable opening. However, large gaps will still be created by the lights remaining in place at El Camino, Bryant, Greer, Middlefield, and Louis. With slower moving traffic, entering drivers will also be able to take advantage of smaller gaps in the traffic flow.
