Before 11yo Andrew Olsen was killed crossing Jackson Drive in San Diego, neighbors complained the road was unsafe.
Now the city is installing stop signs. It's "too little, too late," said SFF SD's Mary Elliott in the Times of San Diego timesofsandiego.com/opinion/2026...

The research is clear: Cities have many reliable ways to curtail speeding.
Lower the posted limit. Deploy traffic cameras. Insert speed humps. Install road diets.
They all work – and most residents support them.But implementation often feels like pulling teeth.
