in a traffic lane with a 40 mph speed limit Many times we are almost rear ended The frustrated drivers waiting behind us honk, swear and finger point us to move out of the way.
Thanks to Town of Colma putting a No Turn On Red sign from Lawndale to Hillside That helps us by slowing down the cars coming up on Lawndale and turning right. The problem is that 50% of drivers do not obey the sign
When the road diet project is finished, there will be 2 continuous miles of one lane in each direction from Serramonte to Chestnut with no way for impatient drivers to get around slow moving cars The only place for eastbound traffic to pass will be through the intersection of Lawndale and Hillside and along the bike lane and stripping buffer in front of our neighbor’s houses and our house We are afraid South City is creating a condition more dangerous than the present situation where traffic has two eastbound lanes.
My husband and I appreciate the work Jeff Chou is doing on the road diet project and eliminating the proposed merger lane in front of our house that creates its own dangerous conditions.
One solution is to install bump outs or a barricade on Hillside at Lawndale to prevent eastbound traffic from trying to pass across the bike lane and stripping buffer in front of our neighbors’ houses and our house
Another solution, and probably the best solution, would be to put a traffic separator in like there is on Hillside between Lincoln and Sister City I know this second solution will be more costly And it will create a safe neighborhood environment for the nearly 100 people in South City who live on this dangerous stretch of Hillside
Thank you
