That's on my daily commute from San Diego to Oceanside, gotta' try it.
Years a go in Spring Valley there was a development near Dictionary Hill. As you drove down this culdesac it dead ended and you were looking at the circle at the end of the street, with no horizon or references agains the hill. It was clearly down hill, but no brakes and the car backed up. The optical illusion was caused by the circle at the end of the culdesac being tilted up. Instead of going down to a circle that leveled out, you were going up to a circle that went further up.
Can't wait to try Mira Mesa/Sorrento Valley of of south I-5, I'll try it tonight! My recollection is that the street you're looking at from the light is banked towards you, it looks flat but it's really a hill.
