Quit making sense, or we'll claim the 101 modernization through Santa Barbara was a mistake, and replace it with stop signs and a crosswalk for extra safety. Or, no stop signs, but a half dozen left turn lanes might be installed to allow access to and from side roads, just like good old 101 south of San Jose used to feature. What's a few horrid accidents a week? Freeways are evil; let's correct the mistake in Santa Barbara! You're right; it has worked out that way, and though in SFO it's unlikely the small grid of freeways that city needs would be built along with the 101, which also would explain some degradation of a single new freeway's performance (service level), closing the gap from the Golden Gate Bridge to the existing freeway network obviously should be done as soon as possible.
