San  Francisco ranks as one of the most walkable cities in the U.S. It’s also a very bicycle-friendly city. Tens of thousands of bicyclists take an estimated 82,000 daily bicycle trips. Unfortunately, San Francisco is also home to some of the most dangerous intersections for pedestrians and bicyclists in California. Alemany Boulevard is considered a high injury area by the San Francisco Department of Public Health.
In 2014, San Francisco adopted the goal of reducing serious and fatal injuries on its roads to zero within 10 years; thus far, it has not made much progress. Every year in San Francisco, about 30 people lose their lives and over 200 are seriously injured while traveling on city streets. More than 70% of severe and fatal traffic injuries occur on just 12% of The City’s streets.
