说明

There are a few problems here:
- Offramp from 13S has no visibility to pedestrians who are trying to cross the offramp until it's too late, making this a frightening street to cross
- Drivers from Northbound Moraga often are making U-Turns onto the 13S ramp. Technically, these U-Turners have the right of way vs. someone turning right off of Estates, but nobody seems to know what to do. The only way to know whose turn it is, is to make eye contact with the other driver and issue some hand signals before someone feels comfortable to go.
- In the meantime, southbound traffic from Moraga is coming up over the hill and there's no visibility to who's coming. So after you're done hand-signaling with the U-turners and you're ready to make a go of it, you kind of have to pray no one is coming up over Moraga. (This is the accident I witnessed today -- a U-turner was t-boned by someone coming up from Moraga.)
- People who are trying to turn left onto Estates often pass each other because they think the person in front of them isn't turning left, but rather waiting to make a U-Turn. So you'll be waiting to turn left, and just as you're making the turn another car will pull around you and make the same left turn, nearly colliding into you.

A couple years ago after lots of complaints to the traffic department, the solution was to put in a bunch of neon cones on Moraga (not pictured) to help with visibility for pedestrians. Well, not sure if these actually help the pedestrians (I certainly don't feel safer when I try to cross Moraga) but what they do instead is block visibility of the traffic coming up over the hill on Moraga, so there's even less visibility now.

My neighbors and I have been asking for help for years, with no response. In fact, one of my neighbors was told by a city worker that until someone dies in an accident here, something like this won't be prioritized.

So who is going to die? Me? My kids? Someone else's kids?
