Comments for “SAN MATEO LOCAL ROAD SAFETY PLAN ”
-
add a bike lane
-
impossible to enter the road safely when using the bike/pedestrian bridge. The bridge itself is often filled with litter and poop.
-
needs a bikelane on the left side guiding cyclists over 101.
-
cars parked in the evening blocking access to the bay trail for cyclists, usually one with shark stickers on the side. Occupants inside smoking drugs. Also a hazard for kids playing in the playground next to it.
-
People run red lights well after the light turns red. If you had 1-2 days with Motorcycle patrol, there would be plenty of tickets
-
Good spot for pedestrian crossing flashing lights. Vehicles turn right on red without stopping.
-
High speed through posted 10MPH zone. Speed hump has minimal affect. Especially bad during school drop off/pick up times.
-
Enforcement of new 15 mph school speed zones needed.
-
Provide Caltrain grade separation here.
-
Like the raised crosswalk at Garfield & 28th. Prefer this to the "temporary" rubber speed humps on 28th and 31st Avenues. Conventional speed humps also better. More roadway narrowing measures: curb bulbouts, planter islands in parking lane?
-
Analyze roundabout potential? For Alameda intersections, like at Barneson, 31st, Hilldale.
-
The ped/bike bridge over 101 was a priority project about a decade ago, but apparently ran into funding problems. Still should be supported.
-
Visibility turning left out of Hillside Garden is not good. It's hard to see oncoming traffic coming from the left side. Maybe increase the red zone to not allow cars to park so close to the driveway here.
-
This road is not in great shape and needs to be repaved.
-
Please consider making all of Ellsworth and b street between 2nd and fourth street closed to vehicle traffic. This would reduce traffic incidents and allow for safer pedestrian walkways throughout the downtown. I’ve observed many near-crashes between cars and pedestrians as people try to turn, make U turns, and reverse to get a parking spot.
If at all possible, turning part of 3rd or 4th street into pedestrian only as well could be extremely beneficial, (eg by diverting third street car traffic to second street)
-
Seems like an accident is bound to happen since oncoming traffic from 17th turning left on el camino is not yielding to right turn green lights from bovet traffic.
-
Vehicles turning either direction to or from 5th Ave often do not look for pedestrians before turning. Especially dangerous is the right turn from W 5th Ave onto ECR. Many vehicles do not even come to a full stop at a red light before turning in front of pedestrians with right of way.
-
Consider adding a 4-way stop here. There are many pedestrians regularly crossing here to get to/from Mercado El Nayarita, the hair salon, and the food truck often parked on Tilton next door.
-
The bushes at the residential property at the Northwest corner of 2nd and S Humboldt make it difficult to see pedestrians coming from that direction that may be trying to cross S Humboldt.
-
Need more parking enforcement of red curbs. While the amount of red curbs is sufficient to allow for safe turns there are constantly cars parked in red that make it impossible to see the coming cross-traffic. Without enforcement of the red curbs they are useless and would require many more 4-way stops to improve safety.
-
How about regularly trimming the bushes & trees on E-bound Crystal Springs, so that they don't a) take my head off, b) force me into the car lane.
-
How about a sign in the island or on traffic lights indicating that only the inner left lane goes to both N & S Bound 101 entrances.
I often see all sort of lane change-issues at the intersection or just beyond on Hillsdale overpass as drivers try to move to the right lane for the freeway entrances.

Cars speeding along this road

Blind intersection coming up the hill on S-bound Edison, can't see W 41st Ave in either direction
-
Drivers crossing sidewallk dont always look
