This palindrome lies in an industrial area between downtown Oakland and the Port of Oakland on the San Francisco Bay. It is in southbound lane 1 of Maritime Street, right outside the entrance to a Port of Oakland unloading area. Tall unloading tower cranes are visible all around this area. The Dellums Federal Building in downtown Oakland also visible from this point.
I visited this area on a Sunday and this four lane road was virtually empty of moving cars. I was able to stand in the street safely to locate the palindrome and then place my GPSr in the street at the spot and walk around taking pictures.
It may be that this road is busy with trucks on Monday to Friday. There is 15 minute parking a few hundred feet north on Maritime Road at N37 48.221 W122 18.540.
