SANDAG's new tool aimed at improving street safety across the county is getting a lot of attention from San Diego County residents.

The new tool is part of the agency's plan to eliminate traffic fatalities and injuries. This new online tool lets residents report streets or intersections that they feel are unsafe. It also allows them to explain why. The tool is proving to be successful with over 600 submissions so far. San Diegans say they want to see changes to dangerous intersections and roads.

“Crossing this over here is extremely dangerous. There doesn’t seem to be a lot of visibility and there’s two high traffic areas and a whole lot of pedestrians because of the apartment buildings," said San Diego resident Kim McAden.

SANDAG is working to improve these areas with a new online mapping tool.

“We don’t want people being injured on our roadways or dying on our roadways," said Antoinette Meier, Senior Director of Regional Planning at SANDAG.

The agency is calling on all San Diego County residents to identify high-risk locations, including intersections, bike lanes and pedestrian walkways. People can identify these areas by using the mapping tool, which allows you to pick the location, write a comment and even submit a picture.
