The Santa Rosa City Council is supporting pedestrians in the City.
Unfortunately, one of the more popular signs produced by the City is the
NO PED CROSSING
USE CROSSWALK
sign. That forces pedestrians to cross the street three times to accomplish crossing ONE street.
These signs are all along Guerneville Road between Cleveland Ave. and Fulton Rd.

east side - nearly 4 minutes:
Crossing Northbound - Cleveland Ave. and Guerneville Road

Why is it that pedestrians are low priority?
All 12 vehicle movements are allowed within 1 minute, 40 seconds.

Time for Pedestrian Parity!
