Show Notes
Older pedestrians in the Bay Area face increasing safety risks at intersections, accounting for 32% of pedestrian deaths despite representing only 16% of the population. Short walk signals, blocked sightlines, and lack of protected left turns contribute to hazards, especially for seniors with mobility issues or vision problems. Cities are responding with fixes like crosswalks, flashing lights, and quicker signal upgrades, aiming to create safer, walkable neighborhoods for seniors.
