CHP responds to early morning traffic fatality south of Gilroy
The California Highway Patrol responded to a fatal traffic collision this morning at 6:52 a.m. on Northbound U.S. Highway 101 just south of Rocks Road, about 14 minutes south of Gilroy and not far from San Juan Bautista.
Not all crosswalks are treated equally
“Red Phone, the flashing lights on the Little Llagas Creek crosswalk signs are permanently flashing. This gives a false signal to drivers that pedestrians are entering the roadway, which is not the case. I have observed some drivers stopping, while most are totally ignoring the flashing lights – since they are always flashing, (day and night). While I applaud the city for installing the creek path, the flashing lights at the crosswalk should only be activated when needed to give a real warning to drivers. This is the case for the creek crosswalk at W. Edmundson Avenue. Let's be consistent on how we install/use safety signage in our city. We do not need any more disasters on Cosmo Drive.”
‘No Parking’ signs at CRC will be removed
"Red Phone, in the evenings I drive down Del Monte Avenue through the Community Park to the Centennial Recreation Center. Coming and going past the baseball fields there are always cars, SUVS and large vans parked in front of the ‘No Parking Anytime' signs along the road. Several calls to the police department to complain about the difficulty of blocked two way traffic seem to be ignored. The parents and adult players just seem to be the special people allowed to not use the street or the large parking lot for parking."
