The residents of Isla Vista, California, request the installation of convex safety mirrors at traffic heavy points in our community. These mirrors will increase the visibility for pedestrians and drivers, lowering the risk of accidents and improving overall safety.

In Isla Vista, California, safety is a top priority of the residence. Addressing the safety concerns of the traffic visibility, this petition is asking the local authorities to add Convex Safety Mirrors in traffic heavy areas to make pedestrians and drivers more visible to better ensure the safety of the residents. Ideally, the convex safety mirrors will be attached to new poles at the intersection of perpendicular streets. Therefore cars turning left or right can see oncoming traffic, whether that being other vehicles, pedestrians, and people on bikes or skateboards. Overall the convex safety mirrors will prevent vehicles from poking too far out into oncoming traffic in order to get a better view, or even worse, failing to thoroughly check before proceeding to turn left or right.

The volume of support has now reached a level that allows me to formally request a meeting with the Isla Vista traffic planning department. I am currently finalizing the proposal package to ensure these intersections remain the primary focus of the next public works review.

Driving through IV is a nightmare with all the bikes and skaters everywhere. Mirrors would help so much with these blind turns.
