Route description

Route 82 begins its journey at US 101 and Blossom Hill Road, where it heads north onto Monterey Highway, later known as Monterey Road north of Capitol Expressway. At Alma Avenue the road becomes South First Street, and Route 82 veers onto Market Street upon approaching downtown San Jose just north of Interstate 280 (which has no direct interchange with Route 82). In less than a mile, Route 82 turns west on San Carlos Street past Downtown San Jose's hotels and convention center, then soon turns north on Montgomery Street and Autumn Street where it quickly turns again west onto The Alameda at the HP Pavilion. In the U.S. state of California, U.S. Route 101 (also known as Highway 101, The 101 in Southern California, and simply 101 in Northern California) is one of the last remaining and longest U.S. Routes still active in the state. ...

Route 82 takes an inland course paralleling the Bayshore Freeway (US 101). The entire route is at street level with at least four lanes of traffic; no portions of it exist as a freeway, although the route is occasionally a divided highway. The Bayshore Freeway and the Junipero Serra Freeway (I-280) tend to provide faster alternatives than Route 82 even during traffic jams on those freeways. In the U.S. state of California, U.S. Route 101 (also known as Highway 101, The 101 in Southern California, and simply 101 in Northern California) is one of the last remaining and longest U.S. Routes still active in the state. ...

History

Originally a segment of U.S. Route 101 (and before that, the historic El Camino Real), rapid growth of the San Francisco Bay Area after World War II, including urbanization of the towns along its path, made it completely inadequate for the needs of traffic. The Bayshore Highway to the east was later upgraded to a freeway and was originally built as "Bypass U.S. 101". Bay Area redirects here. ... Combatants Allied powers: China France Great Britain Soviet Union United States and others Axis powers: Germany Italy Japan and others Commanders Chiang Kai-shek Charles de Gaulle Winston Churchill Joseph Stalin Franklin Roosevelt Adolf Hitler Benito Mussolini Hideki Tōjō Casualties Military dead: 17,000,000 Civilian dead: 33,000...

For specific systems, such as the Autobahns of Germany, see list of highway systems with full control of access and no cross traffic. ...

In 1964, U.S. Route 101 was officially moved onto the Bayshore Freeway (now Route 101), and its former alignment on El Camino Real became Route 82. It was defined as two portions: From Route 101 near Ford Road south of San Jose to Route 101 in San Francisco (which today corresponds to the Alemany Maze), and from Route 101 near Alemany Boulevard to Route 87 (current unbuilt State Route 230) in San Francisco. In 1968, the portions from Route 280 (at current Route 82) to Route 101 and from Route 101 to Route 87 were transferred to Route 280. Route 82 today is designated as part of El Camino Real. Alemany Maze is the name given to the interchange between the James Lick Freeway (U.S. Highway 101) and the John Foran Freeway (Interstate 280) in the city of San Francisco. ... Year 1968 (MCMLXVIII) was a leap year starting on Monday (link will display full calendar) of the Gregorian calendar. ...
