CALIF. TOLL ROADS

[BIGMIKEM]

Any one know anything about the toll roads going thru San Francisco? specifically I-580? how many/any toll booths? how is the drive for a motor home towing? I'm planning a trip to northern Cal. to Crescent city.

thanks

Hi,

The 580 goes up the east side of the bay through Oakland and north across the Richmond San Rafael Bridge. 580 has no tolls, but there is a toll for west bound bridge traffic.  If you want to go through San Francisco take 280 to hwy 1 that turns into 19th ave.  There are not road tolls. I have done it many time in a 30 foot motor home. Get in the center lane and take it slow. There is no toll on the Golden Gate Bridge north bound. South bound the toll must be payed on line before you cross the bridge; there are no toll booths.

580 is the easiest route.

As Garth said, there are no tolls on the roads, just on the bridges.  The Richmond/San Rafael bridge has a toll northbound on 580 and is an easy drive for any type of vehicle.  You may get stuck in traffic, depending on the time of day you come through the area.
