You've got CA-92 and CA-17 over the Santa Cruz Mountains, so clearly, the next thing to try is CA-84 from CA-1 to I-280. The funnest stretch there is between the CA-35 junction at Skylonda and Portola Road in Woodside. While you're there, you could also try Pescadero Road between Pescadero and La Honda...
I live in Half Moon Bay and have to drive this road every day to get to school. Coming and going is an absolute nightmare, especially in the mornings. It takes me almost 2 hours to get to school. My classes start at 845 and I leave my house at 6:30. I like driving the road just not dealing with the traffic.
36,000 vehicles a day? That is ridiculous for a 2-lane highway!!! If only it weren't so expensive, that clearly warrants a freeway there. (Heck almost calls for 6 lanes!)
In the UK we regularly have to put up with two lane roads carrying that volume of traffic - the highway authority where I work (as a sign designer) for example has a two lane road carrying 44,000 vehicles a day with no plans to widen it.
@itsalleternal: the half moon bay/princeton/miramar area will NEVER reach population rate to get the state to put in a 17 size road so thus folks that CHOOSE to live in the northern San Mateo coastal area will have to ACCEPT the existing 92.
I have to say,i'm sure you posted this video for your own reasons but i must tell you,it brought be back,shedded a few! definitley going to my favs.thanks!!
Pretty good change of pace from full-fledged freeway drives. Considering that I never rode on 92 farther west than I-280, it was a great visualization. Another thing to add to my future drive list. Can't wait to see the second half with the San Mateo Bridge.
Wonderful. Thank you!

At spring after a round of golf at half moon bay golf links my parents decided
to buy some fruit and we found around that scenic route through farms and
forest got a strawberry from the store by locals!
A great taste strawberries!

I used to do this stretch of road every day back in 2002, right after they opened the improved section of roadway while coming out of HMB.
Caution is definitely advised in the 25 mph turns on the way down. I once spun out (managed a full 360 degree turn) on the final 25 MPH turn....

So you're planning the next coverage of CA 92 East from US 101 to I-880, including the San Mateo-Hayward bridge, am I correct?

Eventually, yes. I just haven't been on the San Mateo Bridge for quite some time, but it's definitely coming. :)
