Save Lives on Highway 25

Save Lives on Highway 25

The Issue

Too many loved ones have died on highway 25. Enough is enough. Us taxpayers have wanted an expansion for so long and our voices are left unheard. There are way too many head on collisions due to how unsafe this stretch of road is. Barriers need to happen and we also need an expansion. Not in 30 years, this needs to happen now. We need barriers/k rails on 25 now!!! We need our leaders and CalTrans to listen to us now. 

"According to the UC Berkeley Transportation Injury Mapping System (TIMS), over the last 10 years, there have been 514 crashes, 27 of which involved fatalities, along Highway 25 in San Benito County. The roadway from Hwy 101 to the roundabout on Hwy 156 accounts for 216 (42%) of those accidents, 11 of which involved fatalities."

Please share and let's work together to get safety measures like barriers and better lighting on 25!

Responded
Here was the latest on the Highway 25 safety improvements issue from today’s Mobility Partnership meeting (San Benito/Santa Clara officials meet with Caltrans, VTA, COG). I had requested this agenda item. There appears to be movement on considering something, with a required study under way. The discussion starts at 1:07:19. https://www.youtube.com/live/-2CUaDZV_lY?si=Lisf-l0Nl6zjRNHE&t=4039 Thanks, Kollin
