Description

San Francisco’s streets are getting deadlier this year, with a shocking eight percent jump in severe traffic injuries despite fewer total collisions — twelve pedestrians already killed so far, up from nine last year. Emergency rooms are flooded with e-scooter and e-bike riders suffering brutal head trauma, often because they’re not wearing helmets. But there’s hope: speed cameras installed just a year ago have slashed speeding by 79%, fueling calls to expand them citywide. City officials are set to present the data to the Board of Supervisors this week, as safety advocates push for urgent action to protect walkers, bikers, and everyone on the road.
