This needs to be on every block of every Slow Street. (As seen just across the Bay in Alameda.) @slowlakestreet @slowsanchez @pageslowstreet

Slow Streets are for children! Delighted the see students and teachers walking in the roadway on @pageslowstreet to celebrate @SFUnified’s Pride Month.

Streets are for people. 📸@themartinmunoz

Hey @SFMTA_Muni when will the speed limit signs be updated on Lake? Several months ago the Board voted to lower the speed limit to 15 mph but the old sign is still up. @slowlakestreet

Speed safety cameras save lives.

In NYC, fatalities declined by 55% in zones where cameras were installed.

The fate of speed safety cameras in CA will be decided this week by @ChrisHoldenLA and @RendonAD62.

If any stretch of the street is unsafe, it is not a Slow Street.

The only solution is diverters.

Slow Lake needs diverters now.

The @SFMTA_Muni’s new Slow Streets report is flawed re: Lake.

It uses out-of-date data from January, then “averages” car volume across the entire 1.5-mile Lake “corridor.” This gives the illusion of acceptable car traffic when in fact the east side of Lake exceeds volume by 150%

“Something has to change on Lake Street because you can not call it a Slow Street, invite people to use it, and then flood it with cars,” Catherine said. “It’s mind-boggling because it doesn’t add up.”

Not so fast: some of San Francisco's streets are struggling to stay slow.
