"We don't want another person to never come home, never be at the dinner table, never get to go to their kid's soccer game or their daughter's wedding," said Jodie Medeiros of Walk San Francisco. This strong message underscores the urgent need for pedestrian safety measures in light of recent traffic fatalities.
State Senator Scott Wiener has pushed for new legislation to create pedestrian-friendly streets, noting that the U.S. has a significantly higher rate of traffic-related deaths compared to other countries. His efforts are aimed at addressing these alarming statistics.
Wiener also celebrated the signing of a bill that would enhance infrastructure on state routes across California, advocating for improvements like crosswalks and traffic calming measures to promote greater safety for pedestrians.
Despite efforts to make streets safer, Wiener acknowledged that new legislation alone won't eliminate traffic fatalities. "Whatever improvements are made will depend on each individual road," he highlighted, indicating a nuanced approach to roadway safety.
