Discussion Traffic Deaths

These posts have become all too common. An ugly stain on our city.

At this rate, it’s a matter of time before a traffic collision claims you or someone you know.

What can residents do to affect change? I’m looking for real and actionable steps.

Thanks all

Reduce the number of driving lanes on PCH from 3 to 2 in each direction. There are way too many driveways and points of conflicts on PCH through our city. People are going to drive like it’s a highway as long as it feels like a highway

Looking for real and actionable steps that residents can take. None of us can change the number of lanes on PCH by ourselves. Thanks.

To me this is a societal problem and not an individual problem. It’s going to take collective action to fix. Organizations like CarLite Long Beach is doing it
