Description
At all entrances into the city, we are lacking prominently placed signs that clearly indicate the 25 MPH speed limit. As one enters the city from Webster Tube, the signs state the 45 mph speed limit which I think sends the wrong message. This 45 mph speed is assumed by many drivers for some distance as they drive into town. I would request that we work with CalTrans, if necessary, to update this and have all entryways into Alameda clearly message the 25 mph limit to help reduce confusion.

Coming through the tube yesterday i really noticed how small the 25MPH sign is. And badly placed. The 35MPH at the opening of the tube is much bigger and prominently situated.
If the tube cannot be slowed, could we at least have bigger and better placed 25MPH signs?

All: thank you for your input. Yes, Public Works is listening. We have forwarded the request to Caltrans, as well.
Have you noticed this sign when you arrive in Alameda from the Park Street bridge? Use this link to see a rough image of the sign:
https://www.google.com/maps/@37.7708044,-122.2372906,3a,20.5y,248.22h,82.38t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s0qz2WJpxS60FqzUQ_oDh8Q!2e0!7i13312!8i6656
Is this what you are seeking but with emphasis on the 25 mph speed limit?
Thanks!
Liam

I live at the SE end (near Fernside & Adams) and am constantly shocked by how fast cars are going as they enter & exit the island via Fernside towards Bay Farm. Last night I witnessed several near accidents in under 10 minutes... it's often nearly impossible to cross in front of the school because cars are going too fast to stop (or just don't care to do it). Clear signage as people enter the island AND reminders as people are on their way out that intent to leave doesn't may the speed limit suddenly jump to 40-50mph!
Signage + enforcement for a happier, safer Alameda!

The 35 mph speed limit on Tilden between the bridge and Park St. does seem inappropriately high. When I ride my bike on Tilden I take advantage of California Vehicle Code 21202 and ride in the middle of the right lane thus functioning as a mobile traffic calming device. Been doing it for years and no one has honked. Can't say the same about Buena Vista Ave. which also has a substandard width lane but a 25 mph speed limit. Many drivers seem to be in a hurry in Buena Vista Ave. and they do sometimes tailgate or honk when I legally take the safest position in the middle of the lane.
When I drive in Alameda I also try to help slow traffic down by setting my cruise control to 25 mph. I tend to get more tailgaters when driving at 25 mph than when riding my bike at 20 mph. However that is their problem not mine and I'm proud to be doing my part to slow traffic down to safer speeds.
