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.”

“To give an accurate description of what has never occurred is not merely the proper occupation of the historian, but the inalienable privilege of any man of parts and culture.”

“Everything to which we concede existence is a posit from the standpoint of a description of the theory-building process, and simultaneously real from the standpoint of the theory that is being built. Nor let us look down on the standpoint of the theory as make-believe; for we can never do better than occupy the standpoint of some theory or other, the best we can muster at the time.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
