Oak to Stanyan Northbound Cloverleaf

Part of my daily routine while motoring to USF.
Watch out for pedestrians when dropping onto Stanyan from Oak — they don’t stop, and sometimes are hard to see.
Seriously, whatever happened to that lesson we learned in kindergarten… before crossing a street… stop, look both ways, then cross.

wow — who would have thought that one could find a review of this cloverleaf here on Unilocal…
anyway, one should seriously slow down when navigating the turn. it’s pretty sharp, and you would certainly feel that if you were speeding in from Oak. parked cars along the cloverleaf present additional hazards…
and yes, the cloverleaf is fun.

I have passed by the old street sign leading to this ramp so many times coming through the Park eastbound on Oak Street, and never really thought twice about its potential utility as a circulation route… until today, when Jill and I were driving back from the non-​existent Unilocal lunch that never happened in lieu of the Unilocal potluck that never happened. This little mini highway-​style cloverleaf ramp is so helpful in getting you onto Stanyan and on your way toward the Geary/​USF/​Laurel Village areas from the Irving and 7^th/​UCSF/​Parnassus area. Previously, if I needed to traverse this route, I would probably have turned right, southbound onto Stanyan from eastbound Oak, and then turned in at Page and made a u-​turn to come back northbound on Stanyan. But never again!!! Try it out sometime, its fun! (I have a lot of time on my hands.)
