I just started commuting to the peninsula from the East Bay, and I decided not to cross the Bay Bridge in the morning, instead using the San Mateo Bridge. I find that the trip into San Francisco is chaotic, with so many highway connectors and off ramps, a mix of regular commuters and infrequent visitors, and lots of curves. Hwy 92 is an almost straight shot from Hayward to Foster City, plus anyone crossing at 8am is going to be a commuter who does this drive daily.
I have been going back to the East Bay via the Bay Bridge. Partly because I have traveled 880 extensively, I prefer a different route and crossing the Bay Bridge is amazing. And while there is a massive backup leading to the bridge, it is just 3 miles from Cesar Chavez. In comparison, you could be splitting the entire length of Hwy 92 then 880 during the evening commute.
Unfortunately, there was a rider killed on Friday morning on the Bay Bridge westbound, reminding me about my analysis.
I am curious if there are actually any statistics whether it is more dangerous going eastbound or westbound on the Bay Bridge.
