The Capitol Expressway is unsigned Santa Clara County Route G-21.

Meanwhile, upon exiting from U.S. 101 (Bayshore Freeway), the first exit on California 87 (Guadalupe Parkway) is Exit 8, Skyport Drive and Airport Parkway to the Norman Y. Mineta International Airport (a portion of this sign can be seen in the previous photobox). The terminals are located closest to this interchange, so this is the best exit from any San Jose freeway to the airport. All of California 87 is located within the city of San Jose, which is home to 894,943 people as of the 2000 Census. Founded on November 29, 1777, and incorporated on March 27, 1850, San Jose is the third largest city in California (behind Los Angeles and San Diego). San Jose consists of 178.2 square miles and sits at an elevation of 85 feet. Rainfall in San Jose is much less than San Francisco due to its location at the south end of the San Francisco Bay and enclosure within mountains. The average annual precipitation is 14.4 inches.
