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.
