Slow Streets

BeautifulPB supports efforts to reduce vehicle speeds throughout our community in a variety of ways. 

Working to Slow Speeds in PB

We know that slow speeds protect people who walk and bike in Pacific Beach. Traffic fatality rates rise dramatically for speeds above 20 mph.

BeautifulPB supports efforts to slow down vehicle speeds throughout the community. One way we do this is by promoting the Slow Street program in our community and assisting the City with outreach and data collection. Slow streets demonstrate how roadway space can provide benefits to the community beyond just moving cars.
