I guess we all have opinions...
I found the drive through SF to be perhaps the most stressful stretch of road I've ever driven in our RVs. We drive all sorts of narrow, steep, winding mountain roads and I've never felt like a sardine before until SF!
The cars parked on the right all pull in their mirrors or they get broken by passing vehicles. If my rear view was lower, I couldn't miss without pulling in my mirror.
Sitting at a traffic light aligned perfectly in my lane, an ambulance clipped my drivers side mirror (just barely kissed it actually) pulling up to the light.
If I was to do it again, I'd take the left or center lane and hope for the best. I'll never go that way again for sure and would never recommend it.
I used to believe that all US highways needed a standard width lane... I'm quite certain that US 101 through downtown SF doesn't meet those standards, but I'd sure like to see the official measurements as it scared the heck out of me!
YMMV!!!
