A big moment for speed cameras is coming up March 19 – join us at City Hall - Walk San Francisco

Walk San Francisco

Walk SF is proud to be sponsoring #SB961 to address the #1 cause of severe & fatal crashes in SF & California: dangerous speeds.

This is an absolute must-read on why Senator Wiener's bill is bold -- & also completely commonsense.

The work continues to #SlowOurStreets!

Just gotta say... it was a really big week.

Walk SF is now a proud & official sponsor of both safe streets bills Senator Scott Wiener introduced this week.
