Let's get serious about traffic safety
From Hoodline today: Mayor Orders SFMTA To Visit Sites Of Fatal Collisions
My comment:
Instead of just visiting accident sites and invoking Vision Zero---which is just a slogan, not a safety policy---the city should do an in-depth study of every injury accident on city streets to determine why they happened and what can be done to prevent them in the future.
And then publish that information to inform the people of San Francisco about what's really happening on the streets of their city.
The city surely has enough manpower to do this, since the Public Health Dept. has 7,769 employees, and the MTA has 6,263 employees.

Amen, and only want add to that, what were they doing at the time - e.g. walking across a busy street looking at their phone, etc.
90 % of bike accidents could be prevented.

Even more effective at preventing bike accidents: never ride a bike. I will never have an accident while riding a bike.
