The 9 month old Taylor street bridge, overcrossing Highway 85 near downtown San Jose, is right next door to the sheriff offices and other civil buildings. The bridge is an UNPOSTED 25mph zone, followed by a posted 35mph zone as you head toward either Coleman Ave or First Street. Towards Coleman Ave unmounted officers routinely flag down everyone speeding and coming off the bridge for ticketing by a squad car parked closer to Coleman (and across from the rose gardens).

Unless you ride your breaks on the downgrade of the bridge, it is very easy to exceed 25mph! Don’t let the bad sun glare in the afternoon or morning commutes distract you from keeping the needle at exactly 25mph.
