we're not there yet. now here are some things that caught my attention. here are some alarming statistics i want to share with you. in 2018 22% of fatalities were people who were homeless. here is another. in the past five years, 27% of all traffic fatalities were due to left turning vehicles. despite changing our streets by adding any number of safety measures to protect pedestrians and bicyclists, people are still dying. that's the reality. they haven't kept up with enforcement because they haven't had enough people. well, that is changing. additional traffic officers have been assigned to patrol those so-called problematic areas. now here is captain luke martin who in june was appointed to head that division. >> right now we're prioritizing

and focusing on the areas we see the most. the most affected areas. but we could certainly use more staffing. >> reporter: now here is what the city says will help. more enforcement, as you just heard, calming left turn traffic, meaning adding features that would force drivers to reduce speed when making a left turn. the city is also looking into limiting right turns on red, another feature extending the time of walk signals especially for the elderly and, of course, continue to make crosswalks more visib visible. now there are few things working against us. police say people are speeding more. you also have more people living in san francisco, more cars because of the lyft and uber factor and, of course, as i mentioned you have more homeless people in san francisco. again, the reality is that so far this year 22 people have died on our streets.

i'm live in san francisco, lyanne melendez. >> do you think san francisco might follow new york, no right-hand turns on red lights, even though you said the left-hand turns seem to be pretty dangerous as well. >> reporter: larry, that's something that came up at today's meeting and that's something that definitely they are exploring. there are -- i know this for a fact, already certain areas in san francisco where you go to an intersection and you see you can't make a right-hand turn on red, but as someone who has lived in new york city and manhattan, that adds to the congestion and traffic but it's something that new yorkers learn to live with. but it is a possibility here in san francisco. i wouldn't be surprised. >> lyanne melendez reporting, thank you. >> your ideas about building a better bay area on facebook. out of america's 100th

largest cities, oakland ranks second in worst places to drive. wallet hub conduct add study of driver friendliness like gas prices, annual hours in traffic, and infrastructure. bay area cities, as you can see here, did not fare all that well. oakland, san francisco, san jose and fremont placed in the 25 least friendly places to drive. the worst in the country, detroit, michigan. i would have thought it would be new york or l.a. >> i'm guessing it has to do with the massive potholes. i know people think we have pothole troubles here but, i mean, just chunks of concrete missing. the freeze, the thaw, it's hard to keep up with. >> winter. we don't have winter to deal with. >> not a real winter. no freeze, no thaw. we hardly even have summer. we have a little patch of low clouds and fog developing at the coastline. it will extend during the overnight hours and some passing high clouds as well. overnight lows will be mainly in

the upper 50s to low 60s. a 12-hour planner tomorrow. quite a few clouds lingering and they'll stay through the midday hours. high clouds will be passing throughout the day. the skies will get brighter as the low clouds retreat a little bit. a look at our high temperatures for tomorrow. 65 degrees at half moon bay. 76 in observing. up to about 90 in the warmest inland spots. the accuweather seven-day forecast. not much change in the current pattern after tomorrow. pwe'll see a steady, mild patten all the way through early next week with high temperatures inland up to upper 80s, mid-70s around the bay, mid-60s on the coast. a lovely week ahead. >> it does look lovely. thank you, spencer. a warning from the cdc about fake cannabis vape cartridges. apparently a bunch out there making people sick. i'm 7 on your side's michael finney. preparing for disaster oh! oh! oh! ♪ ozempic®! ♪ (announcer) people with type 2 diabetes
