Description
People drive around 50 mph on Clement. I've been in two accidents while backing out of my driveway. People do not stop at the stop signs on the side streets. I was run off the road as someone tried to pass me, then swerved because a big rig was coming the other way. This happens at least once a week.

Thank you for reporting your concerns about street safety in Alameda. We are glad you're ok after your scary experiences! Your report will help inform the City of Alameda’s work to achieve our Vision Zero goal of eliminating traffic fatalities and severe injuries. We will use street safety reports, including yours, in combination with crash data and equity indicators to prioritize and design street safety investments. This evaluation will generally happen on an annual basis, with some exceptions for clear and pressing trends. Issues that the City deems to be immediate safety concerns will be elevated for quick action.
The City is currently constructing major safety improvements on Clement from Broadway to Grand. These should encourage safer speeds and create safer pedestrian crossings. More information is here: www.alamedaca.gov/clement
