Help us identify potential transportation safety issues (bikes included) within San Luis Obispo! Through The Annual Traffic Safety Program, the City of SLO strives to identify high collision locations and actively pursues corrective measures to improve safety at these locations. The City has developed an interactive map to allow residents to flag locations where they have observed notable transportation safety or mobility concerns. This information will be used to supplement the City’s understanding of potential transportation safety issues and help guide decisions regarding future transportation improvements.

Slowly but surely, roads are becoming safer for cyclists. A new bill went into effect the first day of January 2024, titled California Bill A.B. 1909, which states that bicyclists in the state are now permitted to cross whenever pedestrians are. This is an important development thanks to a technology called Leading Pedestrian Interval, or LPI, which gives walkers a head start on the right-of-way before traffic is allowed to commence. You may have noticed there are many crosswalk signals in San Luis Obispo that allow pedestrians a couple seconds head start before the traffic light turns green for cars. This now applies to cyclists, allowing them the same head start to be more visible, especially to right-turn-on-red motorists. You can read more about the bill here:

Thanks to the Leading Pedestrian Interval, roads in California got a whole lot safer for bike riders.
