San Francisco is lowering speed limits around schools, increasing traffic enforcement, and continuing to provide crossing guards as students return to class Monday, Mayor Daniel Lurie’s administration announced Friday.<\/p>\n
The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency is expanding 15- and 20-mph speed limits near schools under a state law and plans to phase out 25-mph school-zone limits at more than 230 public and private schools by 2028, a press release noted.<\/p>\n
The state requires California cities to make the changes by 2031. The city also is expanding traffic enforcement around schools.<\/p>\n
Automated speed cameras, operating at 33 locations since March 2025, have contributed to an almost 80% decline in speeding citywide. At schools with cameras, speeding has fallen by as much as 94% compared with levels before the cameras were installed, the city said.<\/p>\n
SFMTA also will introduce Muni changes beginning Aug. 29, including a new one-seat ride from Visitacion Valley to Francisco Middle School and a new 28R Rapid stop near 19th Ave. and Eucalyptus Drive to make it more convenient for Lowell High School students, according to the city.<\/p>\n
Several major routes also will receive increased frequency or capacity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"San Francisco is lowering speed limits around schools, increasing traffic enforcement, and continuing to provide crossing guards as…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":434713,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[101,103,102,104,106,105],"class_list":["post-434712","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-francisco","tag-san-francisco","tag-san-francisco-headlines","tag-san-francisco-news","tag-sf","tag-sf-headlines","tag-sf-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/434712","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=434712"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/434712\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/434713"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=434712"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=434712"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=434712"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
