Which Road in Redwood City-Woodside Needs a Speed Bump?

REDWOOD CITY-WOODSIDE, CA - Over 9,000 fatalities occurred nationally during 2014 due to speeding according to the latest statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The data also shows a correlation between a driver’s age and the likelihood of a speed-related accident. As the age of a driver increases, their risk of being in an accident decreases. Men are also more likely to be at the wheel during a speeding accident, according to the study.

While the number of speed-related fatalities have continually decreased since 2005, speeding still remains an issue in many of our Patch communities, including Redwood City-Woodside. Readers suggested everything from increased police presence to more stop signs and building less housing to keep traffic at bay.
