Comments for “SAN MATEO LOCAL ROAD SAFETY PLAN ”

Adding a bollard-protected easement from the Saratoga sidewalk to the Bermuda cul-de-sac at this location would dramatically improve pedestrian and cyclist connectivity in this whole area, opening up the YMCA/Crossroads area to Bay Meadows and Park Place workers and residents, and allowing Fiesta Gardens residents to access the new shops, restaurants, parks, and services at Bay Meadows and Park Place.

Vehicles making right turns onto or off of Fashion Island Blvd to exit or enter Southbound 101 tend to whip around the corner at 30 mph without noticing pedestrians in the crosswalks or the lit Walk signal that invited them there. I've had to jump out of the way several times, and I've been saved at least once by someone slamming on their brakes at the last second.

To facilitate foot traffic between YMCA/Crossroads and the shopping center, the middle of this long block of Grant St could really use a bulbed-out crosswalk with warning lights, like the one nearby on Concar Dr.

At the crosswalks of these on-ramps, vehicles rampantly violate pedestrian right-of-way. Sometimes I have to wait standing in the crosswalk while 10-15 vehicles speed past before one vehicle decides to stop.
-
Wish this intersection were a 4-way stop - frequent near-misses happen for cars turning off Cypress onto Humboldt in either direction, and there are lots of pedestrians - kids live on this block and are often coming/going from the church down the block.
-
Cars speed through this residential area as they leave the downtown area. Speed bumps would be a good opportunity to add here.
-
The parking garage here does not have any gates or speed bumps at the exits. Although this building is currently uninhabited, I foresee this garage exit becoming an issue in the future as tenants move in.
-
The parking garage here does not have any gates or speed bumps at the exits. Drivers regularly do not stop at the sidewalk to look for pedestrians before moving on, and instead roll right onto the sidewalk, often at unsafe speeds.

The parking garages here do not have any gates or speed bumps at the exits. Drivers regularly ignore the stop sign and roll right onto the side walk at unsafe speeds. I regularly see pedestrians have to dodge out of the way of exiting vehicles.
-
The new stop sign location is obscured by a tree. This has resulted in the stop sign being obeyed a lower percentage of the time than its previous location at Folkstone and Sunnybrae,
-
West hillsdale needs speed bumps. Lots of pedestrians and families in the area and cars going way too fast
-
The parking structure here does not have adequate visibility as cars are exiting. I have almost been hit by cars several times. There should be mirrors and warnings about pedestrians and people walking with dogs or strollers
-
People often dump large objects here which is a hazard for pedestrians and for people with mobility issues or using strollers
-
I would like a traffic light here. Cars routinely do not stop for the stop sign and there have been serious accidents as a result.
-
Cars speed through this section as the street is very wide. There are many children who play in the street and there are regular children educational programs held at the Buddhist Temple. We would like some kind of traffic slowing measure such as a speed hump.
-
Left turn signals needed here! Many left turners. Do not wait for oncoming traffic before turning. Left onto El Camino Real.
-
Left turn lights and signal needed here! Many left turners do not wait foe traffic heading straignt before turning on to El Camino Real.

This is a very scary intersection to cross as a pedestrian. I’ve had multiple cars almost hit me while turning right. There needs to be a safer way for pedestrians to cross El Camino.
-
the corridor from the Event center across to Fashion island is just sketchy. I can do it because I am comfortable sprinting and holding a lane. A kid or inexperienced rider would just forget it - there's no safe way to get to foster city. install protected bike lanes maybe? The bay trai lis great if you can get to it
-
it's unclear how to cross in order to get to the bike path to the station.Diagonally?
-
need lights here -- it's wide and unclear who should go at the 4 way.
-
The stopsign while traveling north on Grant here is hard to see with the tree. I just watched a car run the stop at full speed.
-
The shadow through here is horrible. There is so much right-of-way here, we need better bike infrastructure on this stretch to connect the cavities to the north and south.
-
This section of road/sidewalk is very unsafe for bikes/pedestrians. The exit of the ARCO and off ramp from 92 make it hectic and unsafe yet it is one of the best ways to get to Fiesta Gardens International School.
