Sign to support making Balboa & 38th Avenue safer by adding two stop signs at the intersection!
Final supporters
Make our neighborhood safer! The Balboa & 38th Avenue intersection is an area where cars are illegally parked at the SW intersection and traffic on Balboa doesn't always yield to pedestrians. Adding two stop signs along Balboa will significantly mitigate chances of an accident.
MTA has confirmed they are working to add near-term improvements, which include soft-hit posts and khaki paint on the northeast and southwest corners of Balboa & 38th. This is start, however adding stop signs would ultimately slow the traffic for Richmond District pedestrians.
The Balboa & 38th Avenue intersection has become increasingly busy for our District’s children, with schools located in walking distance – St. Thomas the Apostle and Lafayette Elementary School – and family friendly small businesses on Balboa. Let's work together to ask MTA to calm the traffic and make this intersection safer by adding stop signs.
Will you take action and sign the petition to support a safer Richmond District?

Reaching this level of visibility feels heavy because it confirms how many of us worry about the safety of children crossing Balboa every single day. I am exhausted by the pushback from the city but seeing this momentum keeps me moving forward.

As a parent, I am extremely concerned for pedestrian safety. Many people drive like maniacs, the more traffic control the better.
I agree that this intersection needs a stop sign. Visibility for vehicle cross traffic at existing stop sign (northbound 38th Ave) is obstructed by the new diagonal parking and requires entering the crosswalk simply look for oncoming traffic. This makes for an unsafe condition.
We also badly need a crosswalk at 39th & Fulton for people going to the dog park!!!
we need this as so many children and others cross the street. thanks. It doesn't really slow traffic because they should be driving slow there anyways.
Safety first. Let's get one at 38th and Cabrillo too. It's a playground corner.
I live on 38th Ave. between Fulton and Cabrillo and drive through this intersection everyday. I believe there would be great benefits to having a 4-way stop.
Please add stop signs to make 38 x Balboa safe. Also put them at the 30 x Fulton entrance to Golden Gate Park. A young woman bicyclist was killed a a year ago there. The intersection is treacherous for pedestrians, bicyclists and motorists alike.

4 way stop is much needed here. Cars just zoom by and don't yield to the pedestrians, which include school children from St. Thomas Apostle, only a block away.
