Driving in Belvedere: What to Know
Belvedere residents commute about 34 minutes on average, longer than the state's 29 minutes, and that ranks 7th among 30 places in Marin County. Yet about 47% work from home, far above the state's 16%, so many drivers log fewer miles than the commute suggests. Only about 39% drive alone to work, compared with 67% statewide, and some ride transit. If you work remotely, tell your insurer your real annual mileage, since mileage is one of the main rating factors. SR-131 runs through or near town, and you'll likely use it for local trips.
