Most internet map sites will suggest driving from San Francisco to Monterey on US 101 South; however, I think it is faster to head south on Interstate 280, exit onto CA 85 South, and then join US 101 South in Gilroy. There is usually less traffic on I 280 than US 101 and CA 85 bypasses downtown San Jose.
Sorry, wusste nicht wie ich das auf Deutsch rueberbringen konnte.
