Make Sacramento Street safer by installing speed tables
Make Sacramento Street safer by installing speed tables
The Issue
Residents and concerned citizens of Vallejo are calling on the City of Vallejo to address the dangerous speeding issue on Sacramento Street. Excessive speeding turns a neighborhood street into a perilous area, jeopardizing the safety and well-being of children, families, pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers alike.
For years, Sacramento Street has been a thoroughfare not just for residents, but for countless commuters driving at alarming speeds. These speeding vehicles disregard the safety of everyone around them. Just walking to a friend’s house or riding a bike has become a risky endeavor, especially at key points near schools and parks where children are most vulnerable.
Speed tables, elevated sections of the roadway, effectively reduce vehicle speeds by forcing them to slow down to navigate these obstacles safely. Unlike speed bumps, speed tables are gentle enough not to hinder emergency vehicles but are effective at reducing regular traffic speeds. Implementing speed tables throughout Sacramento Street could drastically improve the safety for all road users and enhance the quality of life in our neighborhood.
According to research from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, speed management has shown to reduce accident frequency by nearly 45% in areas with installed speed tables or humps. Armed with this fact, residents in other regions like Berkeley and Palo Alto have incorporated speed tables and have seen a significant positive change in driver behaviors and local safety.
Vallejo has a duty to protect its citizens, and the safety of our streets should be of utmost priority. Installing speed tables on Sacramento Street is a tenable, cost-effective solution that other municipalities have successfully executed. Inaction is not an option when the possibility of an accident remains high, and the wealth of evidence supports taking this measure.
Join us in urging the City of Vallejo to implement this crucial change. Your signature could drive the necessary action to make Sacramento Street safe for everyone. Please sign this petition and help us advocate for a safer community.
