Why is the worst area between Laguna Lake and Valle Vista neglected? That is where all the traffic backs up. The traffic needs to be slowed at Valle Vista and Temple Beth Israel with a light, and that entire section of road needs to be widened.

Cyclists cutting in front of drivers. Sometimes in large groups. One time I had to lock up the brakes to keep from striking group. Honked to warn them but they ignored me. By a miracle I did not strike the bike riders. Cyclists must obey traffic laws. They rarely do and threaten motorists when they cut them off. Shameful!!

A roundabout similar to 154 and Santa Ynez, with seperate dedicated lane for right turns. OR barriers between the merge lane from Foothill west onto LOVR and a longer right turn lane onto Foothill from westbound LOVR.

Intersection: LOVR & 9th St/Bay View Heights
A left turn Signal is needed for east Bound LOVR traffic turning left onto 9th St. Because of the high flow of west bound traffic on LOVR: east bound traffic needing to make a left turn without a turn signal, often must sit in the middle of the intersection until the light turns yellow and sometimes red before being able to make their turn. This is unsafe and only allows one or two cars per light cycle to make the turn.Liked 0 times -
Consider adding short center wall with two lanes in both directions between Turi Rd. and Foothill with breaks for turn lanes like Hwy 1 between MB and SLO. Eliminate head on collisions. Also a separate bike/pedestrian path would be ideal-

Prominent crosswalk lighting for evening crossings at Sunset Dr and Fairchild Way. It can be notable dark at these crosswalks especially on moonless nights during the winter months.

The section of LOV from Lariat Dr to South Bay Blvd goes quickly from 55 mph to 45 mph to 35 mph only to again reduce to 25 mph after crossing South Bay Blvd. The result is that few drivers obey the posted speed limits coming into or leaving Los Osos on LOVR. As a result there is an increased risk for the pedestrians that cross using the crosswalks at Fairchild Way and Sunset Dr.

A bike lane the entire distance is a expensive investment for a limited number of people to benefit. People are not going to bike all the way from foothill to Los osos with children. Funding should be prioritized to streamline and make safe car travel because far more people travel by car through this area then bikes do or will. I feel like a bike lane within los osos itself on the los osos valley road would be a good investment for locals and probably well used by adults and children alike.

1. On numerous occasions I've engaged the pedestrian crossing function on LOV at both Sunset Dr. & Fairchild Way only to have cars race through and ignore that I am crossing when I am in the crosswalk. Both crossing need a more prominent visual (flashing) alerts for drivers to know when pedestrians are crossing. 2. the "in-street" lights appear to be solar powered; during the winter months the lights barely appear, if at all. Is it going to take a fatality in order resolve these conditions?

I would like to see a turning lane put in all the way to jacaranda road..
It is very difficult and dangerousto turn into your driveway and exit your driveway along that stretch of road..
I have seen multiple accidents and deaths along this stretch of road throughout the years I think it would benefit the county greatly to provide that buffer zone so people can enter and exit their properties without fear of being struck by another carLiked 0 times -
We need a crosswalk and a blinking crosswalk sign here. People driving into and out of MDO are driving way too fast on this blind curve in the road. It is dangerous to cross here, we have to step out into the road to see if it is safe to cross (many times it is not), yet we don't have any other options.

How were the Class II bike lanes be established where no provision for pedestrians without actually walking in the lane.
I believe walking or driving in Class II bike lanes is illegal except for crossing over?like into a driveway or crosswalk.Liked 0 times -
A paved path from at least the mobile home parks to South Bay Blvd. is sorely needed for safety reasons. I believe it would be utilized by many, especially if it was smooth enough for bikes & mobility scooters. I've had to walk that stretch several times out of necessity and it can be quite unnerving with the speeding traffic. There are approx.400 senior homes here so probably over 1000 bodies that could potentially walk, bike & scooter to do errands. Good for our health & the planet's.

Approx.400 homes w/ probably 2x as many drivers/cars that pull into speeding traffic from these "senior" mobilehome parks. Plus visitors, delivery traffic, etc. is just a lot of traffic in one very small concentrated area. LOVR westbound traffic mostly traveling @50-60+mph & eastbound almost as bad. Also center turn lane can get congested & tricky at times. The high density housing w/ vehicles @this location + the age demographic + the speed limit...dangerous! PLEASE REDUCE SPEED LIMIT

Have seen many parents speeding to pick up their kids at Monarch. I have seen some towns have a temporary (or maybe should be permanent) traffic control delineator set in place along LOVR near the school.

The signs near this corner including but not limited to but especially the State Park sign and speed limit signs has created a blind spot for (especially) byclists traveling downhill at this location. Under just the right (bad) circumstances a vehicle cannot see the byclists and can then turn in front of them onto Rodman. I have asked county roads already to move these signs but have been denied repeatedly. Guess it might take a death.

Highly problematic area. Either a stop light or stop signs needed here. If not-a right-hand turn lane is needed for Pine St as people are driving too fast and one needs to make sure you are not rear-ended here when turning. Also, people drive into the newer added median there to pass going west. Dangerous intersection.

The "Reduced Speed Limit Ahead" signs should be added all along LOVR when speeds change to inform drivers of a reduced speed zone ahead by more than 10 mph changes.
This may make some people pay more attention. I see these signs in most small towns I travel in.Liked 0 times -
The attached photo is the view from the right-side corner of Rodman looking north onto Pecho Rd. It's a blind curve at a designated street crossing point. Drivers speed by on their way to MDO unaware that there may be people and animals crossing here. Drivers coming from MDO are going downhill with slightly better visibility. A crosswalk with flashing lights should be placed on the left-side corner of Rodman to provide everyone with a safer crossing.

Five residents/one business are situated along Paradise Ln. Whenever residents, delivery vehicles and patrons make left turns, it halts traffic both East and West, resulting in an unsafe condition. Almost everyone uses the bike lane as a passing lane when turning in. Most residents on this street have been in a major accident while attempting to enter or exit Paradise lane. One month ago a young girl was severely injured. Therefore, the consideration of a turning lane is absolutely warranted.

The timing on the traffic signal at Palisades should be set for LOVR predominance so that through traffic will not have to stop so often (perhaps time of day dependent) for cross traffic AND for so long. The flow is already regulated well by signals at 10th and 9th street. For example, to stop going west at 9th and LOVR then have to stop again at Palisades is impratical and creates more start and stop auto polution.

A multi-use path for bikes and pedestrians is needed from South Bay Blvd to Spooners Cove. If we want to get people out of their cars we need to make sure there is a safe and pleasant alternative. Thanks!

A pedestrian / bicycle trail from 4th and Ramona to the Library and Community Center would really improve access for the Baywood Community and encourage people to walk or cycle when visiting the Library or Community Center. Cycling or walking from Baywood to the Libary is very difficult and not safe for children or inexperienced cyclists.

An Express bus from Los Osos to SLO would be great. I would use the service and bring my bike to get around in SLO. The current service is just not practical.

A protected (physical separation) bicycle lane is needed all along LOVR.
