Motorists need to be on lookout for exit indications on equally sides of freeways: Roadshow

Q: I was looking through a driving suggestion in Reader’s Digest to be expecting signals on exits to be on the exact same facet of the highway as the exit. Will make sense and appears to be absolutely intuitive. On Interstate 880 in Oakland, why is the sign pertaining to the Walnut Creek I-24 exit placed on the left, when that exit is on the correct? Does Caltrans have distinct rules?

Chuck Seaside

A: Indeed. Exit signals are normally positioned on the ideal. In spots of higher targeted visitors, signals might also be put on the remaining.

Q: I have a problem about San Jose BART Stations. Even after reading your column, I nonetheless never recognize why VTA is concerned at all in BART functions, which include the parking tons. Why is VTA on the hook to pay back for any of BART’s functions for the Silicon Valley extension?

Is not all funding for BART operations, everywhere in the system, the accountability of BART?

What is the historical past behind this type of arrangement, where VTA is included at all in any possession of any parts of BART, including the stations? Is this how it performs in other counties that BART operates in, that a person else owns the BART stations, tracks and trains, and pays BART to run them? From what I can explain to, it’s at least not that way with other BART parking heaps.

Randy Breunling, San Jose

A: VTA crafted and owns each new transit centers and the BART stations in Santa Clara County. That is how the tax was set up when BART was coming to Santa Clara County. Other counties have other preparations but in most situations, BART owns and operates the technique and parking lots.
