Q: Readers who have written about El Camino Real in Mountain View are correct that it is one of the worst roads, and one with so much traffic. When a lot of construction was underway in the last few years here, there were a lot of midday closures, and no repaving when projects were completed. Even when the road was open enough to go the speed limit, at times you wouldn’t dare do so because of raised metal panels, virtual speedbumps, that spanned two or three lanes.

I drive a morning school carpool in a minivan and don’t try to have a conversation with the kids on our El Camino stretch because I can’t hear them over the sounds of the rattling suspension. I can’t wait for any kind of repaving here, in both directions.
