"Diversity on Folsom Street"
Folsom Street is a very busy street. Traffic problems can be sketchy at times because of all the events that go on. One of the more notable events is Gallery Crawl, which celebrates artists walking around different streets in San Fran. I got caught in this. It is comparable to being caught in your car during the Carnival in Rio. The part of the street that stretches North past 17th St has been repaved, so driving conditions are good for you car. The street is always busy though. I would take the back roads if you are just trying to get from one location to the next.
