The contractor for the sub division had to maintain 4 feet from the road as a uniform diminsion and meet an existing sidewalk outside the sub division. If he had met the existing side walk "correctly," He runs the risk of being forced to tear it out, according to inspection guidlines. Blame bureaucracy!

Faults form at weak points in the earth's crust, and they in turn offset things at those things' weakest points. A seam cut into a slab of concrete is going to be weaker than the middle of the slab. The corner of Rose and Prospect streets in Hayward is being torn apart very neatly at a joint in the concrete, courtesy of the Hayward Fault. That fault is also pulling Berkeley's Cal Memorial Stadium apart at a joint in the concrete, even though the fault itself is a hundred feet or so from the seam showing the offset.

The 1868 Hayward earthquake, however, did rupture through a creeping section. Creep generally postpones large quakes to some degree, but depending on the tectonic loading rate, it usually doesn't release all the stress on the fault. When it does reach its yield strength, you do still get quakes. Neither 1906 nor Loma Prieta ruptured a section of the San Andreas that exhibits asesimic creep.
