Description
Because of how San Francisco Bay Area traffic is funneled across the few bridges spanning the bay, and the central location of the Maze, it is a major hub for both east–west and north–south traffic in the Bay Area.
The Maze is a major corridor for commuters living in the East Bay and working in San Francisco. It is next to both the Port of Oakland—the fourth busiest container port in the United States— and downtown Oakland. Two major interstate freeways from beyond the Bay Area, I-80 and I-5 (via either I-80 or I-580) connect to the Maze.

Famous quotes containing the word description:
“An intentional object is given by a word or a phrase which gives a description under which.”
—Gertrude Elizabeth Margaret Anscombe (b. 1919)
“The Sage of Toronto ... spent several decades marveling at the numerous freedoms created by a “global village” instantly and effortlessly accessible to all. Villages, unlike towns, have always been ruled by conformism, isolation, petty surveillance, boredom and repetitive malicious gossip about the same families. Which is a precise enough description of the global spectacle’s present vulgarity.”
—Guy Debord (b. 1931)
“The great object in life is Sensation—to feel that we exist, even though in pain; it is this “craving void” which drives us to gaming, to battle, to travel, to intemperate but keenly felt pursuits of every description whose principal attraction is the agitation inseparable from their accomplishment.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
