#neveragain #SafeStreetsForAll #SlowOurStreets

What’s the fastest way to prevent severe and fatal traffic crashes? Bring down driver speeds.

As part of Walk SF’s #SlowOurStreets campaign, we’re pushing for every possible solution to do this.

⏩ For the latest on 20 MPH zones in SF, read our new blog at https://walksf.org/20MPH

Quick tally: 200 traffic-related fatalities and 18,000 injuries in San Francisco with speed as the #1 factor from 2017 - 2022.

SF needs every tool in our toolbox to #SlowOurStreets. It's time to #PassAB645 to pilot lifesaving speed cameras.

Final vote in the Senate Judiciary Committee yesterday on #AB645:

💪 Let's #PassAB645 to #SlowOurStreets!

↘️ This echoes the 47 speed surveys we did in 2022. Speeding is happening far too often & the outlier speeds shown here are terrifying.

Our streets need to be designed & enforced to keep speeds down. Nothing is more important in preventing severe & fatal crashes.

The fine for going / 700% / of the speed limit on a commercial corridor would be less than 160% that for evading a $2.5 muni fare 🫠 #ab645 #capol #sf #slowourstreets

Thank you to everyone who made our recent Larkin Street walk audit a success 💯!

Walk audits of dangerous streets help us assess what safety improvements are needed the most — & we couldn't do it without our volunteers!

We need to #PassAB645 to bring lifesaving speed cameras to California.

Senator Gonzalez is KEY in moving this out of the Senate Transportation Committee, so help us flood her office with calls today.

Simply share your name, where you're calling from, and politely ask for the Senator's support of AB 645 tomorrow.

With speed as the #1 cause of severe and fatal crashes in California and pedestrian fatalities at their highest levels in 40 years, we need more solutions to protect all of us!

The GHSA preliminary data for 2022 is out.

CA had the highest number of pedestrian deaths in 2022: 1,100 killed.

WE ARE SO VULNERABLE, especially as vehicles get bigger and more powerful.

We need streets designed & enforced to protect us.

This article gets at the complexities & challenges in winning more aggressive street redesigns to actually slow down drivers. Sigh. 😑

We need every possible solution to #SlowOurStreets, & this is a disappointing tale.
