Is that a red light? Looks more like a red balloon or lamp post thing, but it is kind of grainy.

I feel bad for the people that live / work there. Having to go all the way around is a terrible thing. Really it should be turned into some type of toll road, while exempting residents and local businesses. There is no reason except for tourism for highway 1 to be so popular. 101 is a perfectly good road to drive on.

They actually made it cost less for them. They can either pay the $9 each day or choose $1.50 for each trip (passenger pickup/dropoff) they make within the zone

$9 for cars, no matter if you go one block in or all the way through. And no daily charge for staying there multiple days, only charged when you enter.
