One of the most dramatic examples of creep is to be found in a residential area north of downtown Hayward at the corner of Rose and Prospect Streets.

Photographs taken over twenty years show the offset of the curb by creep.

The first picture was taken in 1971.

The next was in 1974, note the red paint overspray.

In 1979, there was about two centimeters or nearly an inch of creep movement that has offset the curb.

Note the change in the position of the curb from 1987 to the location in 1993 in the next picture.

Location in 1993.
