Are San Francisco Streets Safer?

The good news is that San Francisco recorded the lowest number of traffic fatalities in the city’s history in 2017. The city has worked hard to improve street-level safety measures. Overall, there were only 20 traffic-related deaths that occurred on city streets, marking the lowest number since 2010. It was also 10 fewer deaths than in 2016. Considering historical numbers, the city is doing pretty well. There were 158 fatalities in 1927. At Allegiance Law, they are grateful that the number of traffic-related fatalities is falling, but they know there is work to do.
