Residents in East Oakland took traffic safety into their own hands by creating citizen-built measures like traffic circles, responding to persistent reckless driving in their neighborhood.
Despite advocates' efforts to improve safety in the San Antonio neighborhood through inexpensive traffic circles, the city removed their installations, citing them as 'dangerous'.
Citizens created well-executed traffic calming measures using inexpensive materials, as the city failed to take adequate action despite years of community advocacy and increasing traffic violence.
While the city described the installations as dangerous, advocates argued that the real danger lies in reckless drivers who can't avoid clearly marked safety measures.
