Overview
In 2014, San Francisco became a Vision Zero City, vowing to eliminate all traffic-related deaths through education, enforcement, and road infrastructure redesign.
The Vision Zero SF Action Strategy outlines the initiatives and actions the City will take to advance the goal of eliminating traffic fatalities. Vision Zero SF uses data-driven strategies that focus on creating safer streets, educating the public, enforcing traffic laws, and advancing transformative policies that save lives. Learn more about Vision Zero.
San Francisco’s 2022 Streets and Freeways Strategy identified freeway ramp locations in the south and southeast parts of the city that have a history of collisions and are on or near the Vision Zero High Injury Network and Equity Priority Communities.
The Vision Zero Freeway Ramp Study builds on the SoMa Freeway Ramp Intersection Safety Studies, which designed safety improvements for freeway ramp touchdowns in the South of Market neighborhood, by looking at additional ramps in San Francisco. The Vision Zero Freeway Ramps Study will identify improvements for 11 freeway ramps across District 7, District 9, District 10, and District 11 to improve safety and connectivity.
| Freeway Ramps | Neighborhood | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | I-280 and Monterey Boulevard | Glen Park/Outer Mission |
| 2 | I-280 southbound and San Jose Avenue/Sadowa Street | Glen Park/Outer Mission |
| 3 | I-280 northbound and Alemany/San Jose | Glen Park/Outer Mission |
| 4 | US-101 southbound and Bayshore/Hester | Bayshore |
| 5 | US-101 southbound and Mansell Street | Bayshore |
| 6 | US-101 southbound and Silliman Street | Bayshore |
| 7 | US-101 northbound and Bayshore Boulevard/Silver Avenue | Bayshore |
| 8 | US-101 southbound and Cesar Chavez eastbound | Mission/Potrero |
| 9 | US-101/Bayshore northbound and Cesar Chavez at Jerrold | Mission/Potrero |
| 10 | US-101 northbound and Mariposa Street | Mission/Potrero |
| 11 | I-280 southbound and 18th Street | Mission/Potrero |
Purpose and Objectives
The purpose of this study is to design quick-build and long-term improvements to enhance safety for freeway ramp touchdowns. The study will recommend engineering designs, cost estimates, and funding plans for improvements.
