you could see things are backed up leading up the ramp section. the major ones have not yet been activated, from the volume of traffic we've been saying it did look as though they would be required, it's likely if they haven't been tripped on already they will be fairly quickly. again with the light volume and not too concerned about producing any kind of back up. it looks as though we may be looking at least some back up where we otherwise might have had 9 for the west on bay bridge ride. your san mateo bridge ride it and i still problem free, we rarely get problems on the bridge is probably one of the most trouble free along with golden gate. here you see a noticeable increase the volume for the counter flow direction but the westbound ride still looks good. the volume on golden gate bridge is definitely volume up here but still no delays across the span or over the. the interstate 80 and the shore for a way, like an easy traffic from
