Cars parked inside a bike lane — Drive & Park Safety

Drive & Park Safety

We want to make driving and parking safe experiences for people inside and outside all vehicles in San Francisco. Here are some measures we use from our toolkit to improve safety and to make it safer to drive and park in San Francisco.

This page shows just a sample of the types of facilities that we install which affect how people driving and parking cars interact with other vehicles and people on foot.

People crossing in a continental crosswalk

Continental Crosswalks

A person pushes a stroller across a street in a continental crosswalk; a white painted line is visible, behind which cars stop

Advanced Limit Lines

Pedestrians cross Waller and Pierce streets in a raised crosswalk

Raised Crosswalks

A car is parked behind a red zone at an intersection; pedestrians cross in front in a painted crosswalk

Daylighting

Pedestrians cross in a marked crosswalk toward a painted safety zone next to the curb at the intersection

Painted Safety Zones

People cross in a painted crosswalk before a stopped car; to the right there's a bright neon sign with flashing lights below

Flashing Beacons

A car makes a left turn through an intersection; there are small speed humps and plastic posts to guide a 90-degree turn

Left Turn Safety

At an intersection, vehicle traffic stops in all directions so pedestrians can cross through from all corners
