Implement Traffic Safety Measures on Broadway, Lemon Grove
The Issue
I am writing to express my serious concern regarding the ongoing traffic dangers on Broadway in Lemon Grove, specifically from Fairway Drive to the intersection of Sweetwater Road/Milton Street. Over the past weeks, we have experienced repeated incidents of speeding, reckless driving, and drunk driving, resulting in several devastating crashes. The most recent tragedy occurred just last night. Sunday, June 29th, 2025, shortly before 8 PM in front of the Broadway Manor Apartments (8413–8427 Broadway).
These incidents are not isolated. Numerous families in our community have witnessed similar occurrences, and each event compounds the fear we feel for ourselves and our loved ones. The thought of another preventable tragedy is unbearable. It is imperative that we take immediate action to protect our community and ensure our streets are safe for everyone.
Statistics show that areas with insufficient traffic control measures see higher rates of accidents and fatalities. According to studies by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, nearly 30% of traffic accidents involve speeding, a figure that increases significantly in residential areas without adequate traffic calming measures.
To address these urgent safety concerns, we propose the following measures:
1. Installation of speed bumps or humps at strategic locations along Broadway to deter speeding.
2. Increased signage indicating speed limits and dangerous intersections.
3. Enhanced police patrols during peak traffic hours to monitor and enforce traffic laws.
4. Clearer road markings to guide drivers and improve visibility, especially in low-light conditions.
We believe that these steps will significantly reduce the risk of accidents and create a safer environment for pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers alike. We cannot afford to wait until another innocent life is lost.
Your support is crucial in making Broadway a safer place. Together, we can call upon local authorities in Lemon Grove to take these necessary actions immediately. Sign this petition to demand the implementation of essential traffic safety measures on Broadway today.
