yes. i usualy go very slow. but makes me nervous. the streets can be so narrow in our magical Bernal village!

and speaking of Folsom and Stoneman... doesn't anybody remember when that big truck lost control, plowed into the JoJo (a band) house and someone got decapitated? I am stunned and amazed by what I see in our neighborhood on a daily basis! *most of it good tho. Oh.. but wait... the Vandals (not a band) on Mullen and Franconia are at it again! Smashing windows and poking out the eyes on our favorite neighborhood classic cars... lets catch these little punks!

<Sounds like part of the city's traffic calming plan. I think they believe that the changes will make people slow down.

Traffic calming was endorsed by members of the various Bernal neighborhood associations because too many people were speeding. For instance, Precita never used to have speed bumps, but after several people were struck by fast-moving cars they finally put in the bumps. Likewise on 3rd Street they vary the lanes so that people are forced to actively look at what they're doing and not use 3rd like a speedway.

I obey traffic laws, and I'm one of the few who does. I stop cleanly at stop signs. I go only as fast as is posted. People get annoyed at this (especially on the Bay Bridge and along the Central Freeway at Hospital Curve where both are posted for 50mph, but yet I have not been in any accidents, and given how much I drive (I do computer housecalls) , it's got to be how I drive and not just luck.

I was just up on Mullen a couple days ago and saw the stop sign situation. I'll admit that it's weird. I also saw a car try to take the full street zipping up the hill thinking that nobody else was on the street. His car nearly hit mine.

People simply have to slow down.
