The lifesaving vehicle speed technology bill, SB 961, is on Governor Newsom’s desk. SB 961 would require a commonsense safety feature in all cars and trucks manufactured or sold in California (except emergency vehicles and motorcycles). Starting in 2030, vehicles would give drivers an audio and visual alert when they’re going more than 10 MPH above the speed limit.
Governor Newsom has until September 30 to sign SB 961. We need him to stand up to the auto industry and make California lead in taking on dangerous speeding.
Walk SF is cosponsoring SB 961 and working hard to make this bill law. Bringing this type of vehicle speeding technology into California’s vehicle fleet would save untold lives and likely change the entire automobile industry.
Pedestrians are especially at risk when drivers go dangerous speeds. Speeding also harms our communities, making streets unwelcoming for all ages and abilities to get around without fear.
With the support of our members, Walk SF launched its #SlowOurStreets campaign in 2020 to push for every possible speed solution.
