I wonder how much of this is because SF rarely uses left-turn signals.
This forces drivers on streets like Guerrero or Valencia St who need to make left turns to do so against oncoming traffic. When that oncoming traffic doesn't give you a good opportunity to make that left turn, you are forced to take bad opportunities. This usually involves dashing across the oncoming lane quickly at the last second. I can't imagine that this is safe for pedestrians.
- piinbinary 5y agoMaybe a more interesting question: How does this compare to other US cities, and what do those cities do differently?
- ghaff 5y agoBetween the density/congestion, the street layout in much of the city, the hills, etc., I'd say SF is generally more difficult to drive in on average than most US cities.
