The city of Berkeley is number one in pedestrian deaths and injuries for cities its size in the state of California. Berkeley's policy of not citing, ticketing, and referring for prosecution even the most egregious cases had led to a free-for-all where drivers do not respect even the the most fundamental rights of pedestrians. We demand that those we entrust with our safety and the safety of our children do something.
Why is this important?
The city of Berkeley is number one in pedestrian deaths and injuries for cities its size in the state of California. Berkeley's policy of not citing, ticketing, and referring for prosecution even the most egregious cases had led to a free-for-all where drivers do not respect even the the most fundamental rights of pedestrians. Children, the elderly, and disabled people are taking the brunt of this brutality on our streets, many times even though the pedestrian is obeying every law. The police, the city and the DA's office do nothing.
