Marin Avenue, identified as one of Berkeley's most dangerous streets, will undergo significant safety enhancements including four-way stops and curb extensions. The area has witnessed 26 collisions since 2015, with five resulting in severe injuries or fatalities. To combat speeding, the plans feature rubberized slow-turn wedges, lane narrowing, durable crosswalk striping, and visibility improvements through curb painting. These upgrades aim to enhance pedestrian safety and comply with new regulations while making the street safer for drivers and citizens alike.
