City leaders in San Francisco have been scrambling to come up with ways to improve pedestrian safety, especially after a four-year-old child was killed in a crosswalk last month.
Now Supervisor Dean Preston has introduced a resolution to ban right turns on red lights citywide.
Once implemented, San Francisco would join New York City in barring the turns in an effort to increase safety and save lives. The ban has already been in effect in the congested Tenderloin District since 2021.RelatedA 4-year-old girl being pushed in a stroller was struck and killed by a vehicle in San Francisco on Tuesday evening, the police department confirmed.
Citywide, turn-on-red crashes make up 20 percent of pedestrian and bicycle related injury crashes. SFMTA's 2012-2015 numbers show that 40 percent of collisions happen when drivers fail to yield to pedestrians in crosswalks.
