9th Street/Division Street Protected Intersection
Division Street is a key east-west corridor for people biking to Caltrain, the Mission District, AT&T Ballpark, and the South Beach area. However, in the past five years there were 106 collisions along the Division Street corridor, including two traffic deaths.
To increase safety and comfort in the area, the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) implemented a protected intersection at the 9th Street/Division Street/San Bruno Avenue intersection. This location is San Francisco’s first implementation of the protected intersection design concept.
