The new 'neckdown' road configuration on Kirkham Street in San Francisco's Sunset District is causing frustration among drivers due to its confusing single-lane setup. The design aims to enhance safety for cyclists and pedestrians by requiring vehicles traveling east to yield to those heading west. Residents like Ralston Clarke acknowledge the city's efforts to manage traffic but highlight the need for clearer solutions, noting frequent standoffs and uncertainty among drivers. This configuration is part of SFMTA's slow streets program, with a decision expected this summer on its future.
I appreciate that we're attempting to do something to calm the street there. I think this particular iteration is confusing.
Vehicles traveling east, away from the ocean, are supposed to yield to those traveling west.
This is a trial as part of SFMTA's slow streets program. This summer, it will decide whether to keep the 'neckdown' in place.
So often there's a standoff and people don't know which way to go.
