You Tell Us: Where Are the City's Most Dangerous Intersections?
Where do you think the city's most dangerous crossings — for bikes, cars or pedestrians — are? Tell us in the comments or simply plot it on the map below.
Crossing a street in Sonoma can sometimes be a dangerous proposition.
Cars hurry into a right turn as you step into the crosswalk or zoom past as you pedal in traffic. And it's not just the drivers hitting innocent bystanders; plenty of pedestrians run across West Spain Street without walking to an intersection and cyclists blow through stop signs. Police have tried to curb the dangerous behavior by ticketing offenders, but the problem has persisted.
What's the solution? Putting in more crosswalks? Increasing fines for cellphone use and other "distracted driving"? Use the map above to tell us which intersections in Petaluma are the worst and use the comments below to add your suggestions for fixing them.
