with the law. so the city thought, why not apply those restrictions in other neighborhoods? >> san francisco is not anti-car ricardo olea is with sfmta. >> here's what he told us two months ago on their expansion plans. >> we are in the process of expanding prohibitions on turns on red into pedestrian heavy areas such as downtown union square, and that that project will start this year. >> that plan has already started, and now they're considering expanding the no turn on red restrictions even further to include 200 more intersections north and south of market street, pending public hearings next week. how about the rest of the city? we will see citywide like new york city. are we going to be new york city? >> no. the plan at this point is not to make san francisco be like new york city. we're not at the point at which we say that every single intersection in san francisco should have a no turn on red. we want to have people understand when they're going to the tenderloin or downtown or a

heavy commercial area. oh, the reason that this sign is there is because of pedestrian safety, traffic safety has been a huge challenge for san francisco. >> ten years ago, the city vowed to get to zero traffic deaths by 2024. and here we are. and so far this year, there have been seven traffic deaths, the last one on march 2nd, a pedestrian killed by a hit and run driver in the tenderloin. even though the speed limit there has now been reduced to 20 miles an hour and turns on red lights are not allowed. still, we caught a driver trying to make a left turn on red while i was crossing the street, and while we were doing that interview in january, we caught a series of violations and that person made a that person made a right turn on red. >> do you see that? yes, yes. >> if there's no enforcement, you can change all the rules you want to and no one will take them seriously. so we do need traffic enforcement and we need traffic enforcement of speeding, running red lights. >> we cruised around the tenderloin to see if police were actively stopping drivers for

traffic violations. instead, what we found were police searching a car for possible firearms, as they have other challenges. >> they're dealing with violent crime and we're dealing with fentanyl sales. and there's a lot of challenges. challenges in the tenderloin. but the officers do a great job on traffic enforcement to the extent that they can. >> how many citations have been written? >> yeah, i don't have the exact number. but what i do know is that we're also very grateful for the highway patrol that have been really good partners with us for the last year. they've written a lot of citations as well, beginning last year, the california highway patrol agreed to assist sfpd by enforcing all traffic violations in the tenderloin and surrounding areas. >> and next year, the city will install 33 speeding cameras throughout the city in an effort to minimize the number of traffic deaths. >> so we'll see what happens. that was leon melendez reporting . other cities are also having this problem, too. last year, pedestrian deaths reached a 40 year high across the country, and now places like chicago, la

and seattle are considering banning the practice of turning right on red. before we head to break, let's check in with lisa. >> all right. we're just looking at a little patchy fog out there in the north bay, but the marine layer has returned. you can see it here. san francisco, where it has been a little bit cooler. we did manage the upper 60s yesterday and perhaps a few degrees cooler today and into your monday for parts of the bay, but the rest of the bay is going to see a bit of a warm up. i'll explain in a few minutes. >> we look forward to that. lisa. thank you. and warriors win. steph makes his return to the court against lebron and the lakers. but that win came with several challenges, including a broken shot clock. larry beil has

today, and there will be a post-race festival on site. it all kicks off at 7 a.m. today it rained during last year's marathon, so the runners are certainly gearing up for a nicer turnout today. how's it looking, lisa? >> yeah, it is looking nice. you know, temperatures still will be above average not only today but for the next several days as high pressure continues to keep us dry. the onshore flow has returned. low clouds, fog. kind of like a summer, like pattern right around spring time. 49 right now in oakland it is 52. in hayward with 44 in santa rosa and 50 in san jose. patchy fog in the north bay and the view from mount tam. you can see that marine layer. so low clouds and fog this morning for some. but elsewhere we're starting out with sunshine for so for saint patrick's day today, the cooling continues. with that sea breeze at the coast, so it's been very mild averages should be in the low to mid 60s and will be into the low 70s again. our warmest inland valleys. but sunshine even at the coast as that fog evaporates and then spring

arrives on tuesday keeping it very springlike as we get into tuesday and even wednesday. so tomorrow the temperatures coming up a few degrees. notice those low to mid 70s from hayward to napa, upper 60s in richmond in the mid 60s in san francisco, we cool off a little bit on tuesday. certainly around the bay and at the shoreline inland, maybe a few low 70s. and then the more significant cooling comes in on wednesday as high pressure continues to weaken and fade away. and there are several systems to the north of us that will get cranked up and ready to move on in by the end of the workweek into next weekend. their cold systems, so they'll spread not only rain from north to south, but mountain snow. and we're talking about probably some advisories in the sierra nevada as we get into next weekend. so hopefully enjoying the dry seasonal weather for this time of year. and because this all switches as we get towards probably friday, could even see a few showers into early thursday. this takes us through saturday night where you

can see rainfall amounts will be nothing too extreme. it will be beneficial rain anywhere from a half inch. maybe along the peninsula, fairly uniform, but it could be a cut off low too. that continues to bring in some chances of rain beyond the weekend. so this is just kind of a framework of what to work with for the end of the week into the upcoming weekend, so you may keep the sprinklers off and look forward to more spring showers. 73 today in san jose. looking at temperatures in the upper 60s near the bay and low 60s at the coast. the accuweather seven day forecast. saint patrick's day, some fog, little cooler temperatures, rebounding on monday. tuesday looking almost as nice, maybe a few degrees cooler with a increasing onshore flow. and then for the middle of the week, quiet cooler level one system should arrive by friday and then continues, of course, into the weekend. stephanie. >> lisa. thank you! a reminder that you can watch all our newscasts live and on demand through the abc7 bay area
