Watch: 9th and Division Protected Intersection Unveiled

Tuesday, January 17, 2017

Tree-lined intersection with pedestrians and cars crossing and bright yellow and green markings.

Last month, we unveiled the latest street design upgrade for SF — a protected intersection at 9th and Division streets. A protected intersection uses simple features like concrete islands to make moving through the intersection safer for everyone, whether they’re walking, biking or driving. 

Today, we’re sharing a video with more details and a link to some interesting time lapse videos of the changes with thanks to local transportation advocate Thomas Rogers.

Projects like the 9th and Division protected intersection support San Francisco's Vision Zero initiative to eliminate traffic fatalities by 2024.

For a detailed explanation of this kind of intersection, check out our Aug. 25 post announcing the project.

The full press conference announcement is also available online.
