Install 43 new Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons systems at 14 interchanges on various routes in San Mateo County. Additional non-standard items including ramp meters, curb ramps and sidewalks will be upgraded to current standard. Drain inlets and pull boxes will be replaced within project limits.
