Rockridge residents led a traffic study - and designed a plan to slow down their streets
Briefly

Rockridge neighborhood, known for its shopping and streets, faces traffic issues due to speeding cars. Residents collaborated with the Oakland Department of Transportation, meeting eight times to create a plan for traffic calming. A 29-page report emerged with ten possible pilot projects. Recommendations include street entry structures to deter speeding, new stop signs, flexible posts to narrow intersections, small roundabouts, and traffic bumps. This collaboration may set a precedent for future traffic solutions in other Oakland communities.
The Slow Neighborhood Pilot Working Group created a comprehensive 29-page plan featuring 10 potential pilot projects to reduce speeding in Oakland's Rockridge neighborhood.
Key recommendations include installing new stop signs, hardening centerlines, and creating small roundabouts to improve safety for pedestrians and cyclists in the area.
