abc news washington. >> back here at home in california, there could be some new regulations coming for speedy drivers. state senator scott wiener introduced sb 961, which would require new cars in the state to have technology that limits drivers from going over ten miles past the speed limit. the speed governors would tap into the same geolocation of real time mapping and traffic information to monitor the speed, wiener says. the bill stems from the alarming rise in road fatalities. if approved, it could go into effect by 2027. now this comes as california's roadways are ranked the third deadliest for pedestrians. that's according to data from the national highway traffic safety administration and the abc7 news. i-team is taking a deeper dive into the problem spots across the bay area. why are so many california pedestrians dying at night? that's a question facing state leaders as a disturbing trend is threatening our roadways. >> we're not talking about near

hits. we're talking about fatalities. >> we're talking about pedestrians and bikers who are being killed because they're in a public space. >> a quarter of california's fatalities are pedestrians. that's according to federal data through 2021. and that same data analyzed by the i-team shows that trend has worsened over the past decade. for example, in 2012, there were 653 fatalities that jumped to more than 100 in 2021, same story across the u.s. we are seeing nationally pedestrian deaths are the highest they've been since 1981. >> that's kind of crazy because our vehicles are safer. we've made a lot of improvements in technology, but yet we're killing more, more people just because they're going out for a walk. >> jonathan adkins is the ceo of the governor's highway safety association. he says all of these crashes are preventable, but we want to have our infrastructure such that it allows for mistakes to happen. >> a mistake shouldn't kill you. i'm building an infrastructure

overall traffic deaths in 2021. the other top five counties reporting the most pedestrian fatalities that year are santa clara, with 35, contra costa with 20 and san francisco with 15. and that's the highest it's been since 2018. so what's being done about it? >> california has never prior revised pedestrian safety. >> state senator anthony portantino wanted to change that a year after chan's death, the governor signed his bill, sb 932, into law. it requires a county or city to identify high injury streets and intersections. in its general plan, and prioritize safety improvements to reduce collisions by 2025. >> we just need to, you know, hold cities more accountable to. >> case in point, the city of alameda launched the vision zero action plan, an effort to try and eliminate traffic deaths and severe injuries by 2035. >> just over two years. we have the safety improvements, have been installed at over 130 intersections throughout the city. >> some of the enhancements

include new lighting, upgraded crosswalk markings, and new program pedestrian intervals at 68 intersections that allow pedestrians to get a few second head start on a green light before vehicles in the last couple of years, about three quarters of our police department's traffic enforcement stops occurred on high injury corridors. the i-team reviewed the city's plan and found dozens of intersections labeled high injury for pedestrians, many of which are near hospitals, schools and parks. >> we've put a lot of effort into enforcement as state senator portentino points out, enhanced awareness leads to more accountability. >> we still ahead on abc seven mornings. it's a swashbuckling kind of weekend. yeah, if you don't know what that is, you're not alone. we're taking you to a huge pirate festival that bills itself as the third largest parade in the country, and closer to home, here's a beautiful shot atop our roof camera looking at the bay bridge this morning. you see that lovely sunrise? a warmer day
