Two comments: Please again look into a traffic light, Hon. Noel Gallo and Oakland Parking Dept., on Beaumont/E. 38th St. There have been numerous car accidents at this intersection and, sadly, it will be only a matter of time before one of the Middle School kids from Brewer or the elementary schoolkids, boarding school buses, from Glenview Elementary are hit in a crosswalk.

As for the Beaumont/580 on-ramp at MacArthur, it dumbfounds me that when planning traffic signals, a left-turn signal was not installed, along with a regular light. Cars race up Beaumont and through yellow lights making a left turn at this intersection precarious at best and life-threatening at worst.

This same issue came up yesterday although some of the details vary. I don't know if this situation is also a responsibility of CalTrans as it relates to 580 access.

this was reported to two of the traffic engineers at least six months ago, Ade Oluwasogo supervisor, and Phillip Ho and the response was that this would have to 'get in line' for the required traffic "test". At the very least you could prohibit right turns onto 580 East from the traffic coming up, on a red light. (No turn on red)Still there are people who will proceed straight up Beaumont on the red light, though. Just how many accidents have happened there/ Outrageous. I no longer make turns from this intersection.

I did copy and paste my comments from Next door onto the form for email to the mayor's office. I hope others will do this! Thank you, MERC

No, thank YOU! And I hope Reina Ramos does likewise.

I strongly agree that a left turn signal at this location is very urgently needed. Oncoming traffic from the opposite direction is often heavy and sometimes at high speed. My son had a serious accident while properly attempting a left turn at precisely this spot. His vehicle was “T-boned” by a heavy SUV traveling well over the speed limit. All four people who were in the car suffered serious injuries. The two people in the SUV fled the scene on foot and were never located.

Yeah, Oakland has a lifetime of work to do to make traffic run efficiently. There is ALWAYS smashed glass and bumper parts in this intersection and it's a hot mess. OAKLAND DO YOUR F**********G JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you Merc
I've emailed the mayor office. Emphasizing the negligence of Ade and Philip.
The city has many projects going on such as the BRT project. However Ade and Philip needs to delegate a unit/personnel to dedicate to safety issues that need prioritizing.

Ade (510)238-7272 is out of the office from 12/30/19 until 2/10/2020. Jason Cook (510)238-6103 is handling his calls. I've left him a message.

Taking another route seems like a quick fix. Taking another route is finding another dangerous turn. Either way I arrive at the same situation.

Thank you everyone for voting.

Please share link. It's in the best interest of all even if you don't take this route. The more accidents occurring at this or nearby intersections our Car Insurance policies are calculated at a higher premium. This intersection is definitely going to continue feeding accidents.

Thank you Reina Ramos! And don't forget to contact the 2 district council reps. related to this area.

I agree thar a turn signal has been needed for some time now.During busy times drivers wait for the light to turn red before turning because there is so much traffic coming the other way and that creates a dangerous situation

I tried to copy and paste my comment into an email to the mayor’s office, but I couldn’t figure out how to do it.

@R. Kessler: I'll do it on your behalf because this site won't allow me[I think] to give u the instructions of how to do it.

Thank you for posting. I wonder if anyone will receive an actual reply

I agree that a left turn light is needed at that intersection. While we are talking about Beaumont, we URGENTLY need a 4-way STOP SIGN at the intersection of Beaumont and East 38th. The frequency of auto accidents at this intersection could be drastically reduced by the installation of only TWO more stop signs. Jack Pierce (East 38th.)

@ Jack Pierce: Please start a "new" OAK 311 post indicating this location (Beaumont-E.38th) and your comment in the DESCRIPTION.

And please copy/paste your comment into an email and send it to the Mayor's office.
