@3312cdfp5674 The National Maximum Speed Law was enacted in 1974, so the speed limit on all freeways was capped at 55 mph. If a state posted a higher limit (they were free too do so), the government would cut all of their highway repair funding. The law was modified in 1987 to allow 65 mph, and repealed in 1995, which is why some roads have 80 mph speed limits now...
It's amazing to see these freeways so relatively empty! All of these freeways today are a madhouse at 5 p.m.!
FreewayBrent now it’s clogged up at 2 pm to like 6 or 7 pm it’s NOVEMBER 2019
Its funny how even 45 years later, the freeways in San Diego look like they've never changed
I was in 5th grade. I only lived 28 miles from San Diego but travel was so different and infrequent that going to San Diego was like going to a a place much farther away. It was a special occasion.
I was born in 1985 in North San Diego County. My parents always told me that there was virtually no traffic on the freeway systems back then and I just found that hard to believe. Until I found this video 101not5. Anyways, that is a fantastic video. I can't believe how open Mission Valley was back then. My Mom said back then, they're used to be dairy cows in Mission Valley.
awesome, cool to see. rolling into downtown off the 163 still is brilliant
It's amazing to see soooo much less traffic. As a born (in 1970) and raised San Diegan I miss seeing that so much. Now we are a cluster f**k with out of state transplants here... There was also a skatepark underneath the 163 freeway area off the 8 I remember called Oasis Skatepark.
I hitch-hiked from Cleveland to San Diego in 1976. And went all the way to Ocean Beach on I - 8. And remember the first time I saw San Diego Stadium, aka Jack "the Murph" Murphy Stadium and Qualcomm. Compared to old Cleveland Municipal Stadium, it was beautiful. Of course both are gone now.
Amazing to see the CA freeway signs in 1975 in this video! The engineers back in the day were really smart and intelligent knowing such construction would last a very long time, knowing that technology like cars would get better. It’s such a wonder to see the beginnings of interstate freeways.
Hard to believe. Everything looks the same except the vehicles..
Thank You .. .wish there was OLD Fashion Valley ... Broadway building, Buffums building, IMagnin Building, etc.
@101not5 anyway that is a great shot from that year ,most people dont care about the past or dont even bother to record something that will someday be a relic ,like your video is almost 36 years old i waas born until 76
Ya, it's amazing to see that much natural vegetation in Mission Valley without as much as a Starbucks or a Clone-dominium complex clogging up the scenery!
Thanks for this vid! I wasn't born until the 80's, so this is even more fascinating to me. This was San Diego even before my time! I noticed at 1:22 that the 805 sign didn't have the National City/Chula Vista control cities yet
on those roads, they haven't changed much, but anyone remember how bad City Heights was in the 90's before the 15 was built through 40th street?
Omg this is so cool!! I grew up in San Diego county in the 90s-00s. I would spend weekends at my dad’s in Clairemont; he would take my sister and I to mission bay park, Balboa Park, fashion valley mall, old town, Belmont Park!! When it had Pirates Cove omg it was so magical!! So many wonderful memories :) thanks pops RIP
Dang, you lost your dad young. Sorry for your loss, Megadextrious. I grew up in the College Grove area of San Diego south of University Ave in the 1960s. My dad took us out to the original city dump on Ryan Road by Chollas reservoir. My older brother and I were hard-core scavengers. You wouldn't believe the "pickins" we'd come home with. Dad also took us to Mission Beach at Belmont Park where we rode the Giant Dipper and spent the afternoon body surfing and riding the rock hard inflated surf mats (pre-boogie-board) we'd rent from Hamel's-and then maybe rent some pedal boats on Mission Bay. I was 54 when my pops passed from Alzheimer's in 2008.
Good grief. I remember being a police officer back then. Check out those funky cars, and no traffic either.
Joe Marquette Were you statioed at the old Police Headquarters next to Seaport Village?
Joe, did you know Officer Dennis Gonzalez? He was my step uncle, married to my Aunt. SDPD killed in the line of duty in 1978.. RIP DG
Great times then
Joe Marquette I KNOW THE TRAFFIC IS WHAT CAUGHT MY EYE..HOLY CRAP..NOW U CANT EVEN GO 25MPH ON THE 5
Worked at a liquor store 28th & imperial.. Tony's liquor, we payed protection money from a officer. He was like 6"3 named Richard, didn't remember his last name, but let me tell you he earned his money 💰 he was a bad ass didn't take shit from anyone. The neighborhood was very rough, thieves, drug dealers, molesters, bad citizens, but Richard kicked ass!!! Today we need more Richards in this world 🌎 today!! I really appreciated officer Richard. No fu----n around with this guy!!! God bless Richard wherever you are!
I take the 163 and the 8 everyday to go downtown. Its wierd with no traffic
Crazy thing is it really hasn't changed much.
They past the Go-cart place next to the stadium.
I was just gonna say.....aren't we following that Pinto a little too closely??
cmmolthr lol
Fine cars
NAS Miramar, 70-74. You I liked it then, you could not drag me back there now.
1978 950k people now 3.5 million
Normal traffic.
This must be old.
It is always good to see Southern California in better days.
Thanks for sharing this with us.
George Vreeland Hill
Wow - a LOT less traffic than what we have now.
805 was new (built 1972-75). 5 and 8 were built in the mid to late 60s, and 163 (395) is from the 1940s.
I would love to be back in time then
I like how there was no traffic back then.
See that jet coming in to SD Intl Airport aka Lindbergh Field? Anyone remember how one of them blew up on approach and debris was scattered over homes and kids were finding "parts" in the back yard etc?
If your reffering to the flight 182 desaster than yes we still remember that here. It was caused when a 727 pilot wasnt paying atention to his speed and position and crashed into a 182 that was in front of him. It was very tragic nobody survived the annual crash site momorial service just passed on oct 10th
I do I was in the 6 th grade I heard the booms like 3 times and knew something was really bad we where taking a test at the time
Yes. It was known as San Diego Stadium at the time.
@bengativo6
Actually it was a small 1940s vintage 8mm film camera, around 8 x 5 inches, weighing a few pounds, and you had to wind it up, like a clock.
My Favorite Intersection route 8 and 163 in Mission Valley
My first visit to SD was n late 1982. It was great seeing Jack Murphy Stadium like it was back then. Now, you can only catch a glimpse going east on I-8 and none at all going west. Always loved going under the bridge heading to Balboa Park. We drive there a couple of times a year since the early 2000's and the highways are packed all day long. We cruise up to Oceanside to get some great food at Harbor Fish and Chips and head back to SD no later than 2 to miss the bulk of the traffic. We had to take El Camino Real all the way back once because the I-5 was a parking lot. That's a nice drive anyway. I love coming in on 8 where the speed limit is 65 but you better be doing 80 lol Which is cool for me. I learned how to drive on the Dan Ryan in Chicago!
Sad so say, but no glimpse now of the stadium. It was demolished earlier this year. SDSU is building a new, smaller stadium on the site. However, the trolley station still has the old stadium style pylons and so it’s a little like catching a glimpse of the old stadium when driving I-8 east. I hope they keep that station architecture. It’s still strange not to see the old stadium. Even worse, the very last piece of it to come down was where I had my old Padres season tix seats. 😢
To go on a time machine to see how it was
DEREK, you are driving me crazy with these picks!
Thanks to someone's fascination with the city's infrastructure we now can look back and see how it was in the 80s. Thanks for posting!
163, the most beautiful highway in the United States, by the way was voted the best highway 6 months ago. I grew up on that highway!!
awesome video im glad the freeways still look the same and are still as awesome to drive
@Mathew they had to add the seats to get approved to host the Superbowl the first time we hosted it and at that time it was filled in and the big TV screen added to the score board. Good eye I missed that one. BTW we had to add the MTS trolley line to win the Superbowl bid in 2003.
Damn. I was being born when these were made. Still looks the same. Thanks!
Thanks for the memories. Do you remember the zebra club on main street 1975 and the YMCA downtown? Also there used to be a cigar shop I believe that had a statue of an indian in front of it, on braodway blvd?
Look how much traffic there was NOT. 😍
how old is the bridge over 163 to Balboa park? iconic.
I was 6 in 1975 and rode in the back of my dads Gremlin every day on those roads. There was not a happier time than the 10 minute drive to San Diego Stadium pulling with all the other cars just believing the Padres were going to put things together this year.
So when this was shot, were these freeways still considered new?
OH NO ! don't tailgate that Ford Pinto at 0:53 you will blow up if you rear end it ! wow that was close he he he lol
WOW!!!! Thanks for this upload!
We moved here in 1969 and my dad owned a restaurant on Hotel Circle and we drove the 8 each day when I worked for him as a kid...I remember the cows all over Mission Valley..I have so many great visual memories of SD before MV became the mess it is today. My best friend's dad was the Chargers radio play by play man and I got to see the Chargers play a lot...my dad and I had Padres season tickets and went to the first All Star game...he hired Ozzie Smith and Dave Winfield for ad work...memories!
If Not Now When
What was the name of the restaurant your dad had ?
WOW..BEAUTIFUL..NO TRAFFIC
RIP Qualcomm Stadium
I think Mission Valley and Fashion Valley Malls were there but nowhere near the sprawl there is now. I notice no D&B either. What a drag! Of course I was only 7 at the time.
In 1975, there was no development between Mission Valley Center and San Diego Stadium.
I think it was the early 80s when CalTrans greened out the "Exit"s.
Wow, look at all the cars! Love the land-yachts!
Rip jack murphy stadium.
Thanks for posting this video! I was about 4 years old. I was born in November 1970. Alot has changed since then. Maybe try posting another video of today for comparrison.
Awesome. Awesome. Awesome. Watching Super 8 is literally the closest thing we have to actual time travel!
Back when San Diego was nice.
DAMN, The freeway is exactly the same size, ALL those freeways the 5 and 8 are four lanes and that's 45 years later and they are the same size. The Populations grown 10 times that and the freeway is the same size. that's crazy, What has CALTRANS done for 45 years to help with the traffic? I will tell you, NOTHING and NOT ONE THNIG in 45 years. Where has all the tax money gone? The freeways are exactly the same, 4 lanes on the 5 and 8 and 2 lanes into downtown on the 163 from the 8 , OH MY GOD, What s has Caltrans done with all that money?
Good lord
As a reference, in 1975, the 15 south of the 163 split was not a freeway, the 805 ended at Main Street (Chula Vista) before Otay Mesa, the 52 ended at the 805, the 905, 56, 54 between the 805 and 5, and 125 didn't exist, although that little bit between the 8 and 94, but wasn't signed.
Mark Newton-John that's crazy to think about...
Going back futher than that, 67 went down I-8 (then called 80) to today's 125
south and ended at 94
@101not5 It is now known as Qualcomm Stadium (The Q, The Murph); and the current home of the San Diego Chargers and the San Diego State Aztecs.
Cool it started off with the Bridge there at Balboa Park
TH-cam would just delete it if I did.
Those where the good old days I was 10 and no crazy traffic back then no houses up the hills big malls like now. So cool
Nice
This brings back memories ❤
great video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was there.
Yeah, Pintos were everywhere. This is when the 805 was new, maybe? Loved this vid. Love old big cars. I know, they are gas hogs, but I'm feeling what I feeling.
Yes, the 805 was built in '72-'75.
Wow look at Qualcom Stadium with that huge gap I never knew existed...
That was filled in when they expanded San Diego Stadium for the Super Bowl.
love this video.
@101not5 Now known as Qualcomm Stadium, current home of the San Diego Chargers.
60's even better
This is great!
old times.. best times..
i wrote the same on a 1975 clip of L.A freeway footage 101not5 posted before seeing this one.
has not changed a bit
Just about 20 times more traffic on those freeways
Yes it has
Well a little
Really cool! Hasn't really changed all that much, of course.
Almost no traffic. Even in the 80's it wasn't bad at all compared to today.
I remember. It's all gone now.
That's where Ron Burgundy and his "news team" are based in.
Christopher Howell nah really
Some of us still remember that in 1975, Harold Greene WAS the anchor at KGTV, Channel 10 in San Diego.
@bengativo6
Now if it was video instead of film equipment, you would be right. And it would have been very costly too.
"1975" that's the year I my best friends...in 3rd grade.... 2016 still friends keep in touch very well except one friend? we lost touch of. .back in 1990's??
@limboslam I'm shocked also is it because of the energy crisis?
Energy crisis and the fact American cars weren't built that well. Use them up in three years and trade them in. European cars were even worse with a few exceptions. Japan just merely filled in the gap with well-made and economical cars.
@101not5 I though it was in 1973?
@101not5 Not the video.
Woah, what’s up with the Q? When did they close it up?
Not as many cars that is for sure.....
So that's what San Diego looked like when I made my graceful entry into this world 😆
Why did they exclude exits on signs?
Exit numbers didn't happen until the late 90s. It was more of an east cost thing, and wasn't felt necessary out West.
I think that has to do with the fact that so much of the Califonia freeway system was already built, that California was exempted from the exit number directive because of the costs involved. (It's for that very reason why California remains the only state not to have green mileposts on i's freeways, though there was an experiment with green mileposts.) Only the downtown Los Angeles area, as well as I-10 in Los Angeles county, had exit numbers, but the exit numbering did NOT include freeway-to-freeway connectors, which never made sense. Even now, some of the freeway-to-freeway connectors in Los Angeles still do not have exit numbers, like NB I-5 to US-101 (which should be 133B) and I-5 to CA-2 near Glendale, which has officially been designated exit 139, but there's no signage to that effect..
@@cjs83172
California had mile post signs but no exit numbers. It was illegal to use radar on state highways/ freeways back then. So us truckers would be on the CB radio warning each other that "Smokey is hiding at milepost 183" and everyone would slow down. They had to pace you to give you a speeding ticket. The state pulled all the mileposts off of the roads about 1975 or so. Since the late 1980s radar has been legalized in California. That's when they put up those little "Radar Enforced" signs below the speed limit signs. They were resistant to putting exit number signs up because of then. The feds made California put them up. Some stretches of freeway are getting the mileposts back. Hwy 58 between Bakersfield & I-15 have them.
beat me to it
@101not5 lol well it is what i most witnesed when i was a little kid during the 80's
Don't you wish American cars would rule the roads again? Too bad American car companies still need to catch up with competition from the Japanese and Germans. Nice to see that people drove with consideration and turn signals back then. Thanks for the video!
So cool!!! wow!!! Thank you for posting:)
