policy. the vote on this no turn on red expansion to cover the entire city was delayed last month, back in august. the board discussed whether a citywide ban was needed or if the rule should be expanded to areas where there are a lot of crashes. there was also a desire for more feedback from the community. according to sustainable transportation advocate luke bornheimer, more than 1100 people have signed a petition for a citywide ban. he says san francisco would be the second largest city in the u.s. to have a citywide, no turn on red policy in place. as of right now, the city has already banned right turns on red lights at around 200 intersections in downtown, and the tenderloin. sfmta says priority areas for the expansion could be parts of the mission and nob hill. back to you at the desk. >> thanks, amanda. a bill that would require speed warning technology be added to cars in california now sitting on governor newsom's desk. senate bill 961 was authored by state senator scott wiener from san francisco in response to an

increase in traffic deaths over the past five years. if signed by the governor, it would mandate an alarm be installed in all cars starting in 2030 to let you know if you're driving more than ten miles an hour over the speed limit. >> we're not physically stopping them. if people choose to speed, that's their choice and it creates risk and they might get a ticket for it. but the least we can do is make sure that people are aware immediately if they are driving more than ten miles an hour over the speed limit. >> opponents of the law say it would be annoying and argue safety requirements should be left to the federal government. the ntsb and triple a support the bill. governor newsom has until the end of the month to either sign or veto it. >> covid has had a busy summer, spreading far and wide, but it's finally starting to calm down. wastewater data in santa clara county shows this season was one of the periods with the highest transmission rates, and those rates are drastically higher compared to last summer. now

we're seeing steep declines in wastewater numbers. the cdc predicts a better covid outlook this winter compared to last. >> all that immunity hopefully means that we'll have a better winter than we did last summer, with lower rates of cases. we're going to have the other viruses flu and rsv, but hopefully covid will have done its work. unfortunately, during the summer, even so, experts say covid is still unpredictable and immunity makes for the best defense. >> the new vaccine came out last week and anyone can get it. it's most recommended for the elderly and people who are immunocompromised. and a reminder at the end of this month, you'll be able to get covid tests for free from the government. you can get four per household from covidtests.gov. >> new at six? do it yourself. braces are apparently a thing, but now it's coming with a warning from doctors. dental experts are warning against the

really going to warm up. we can expect high temperatures of 100 degrees at fairfield, concord and livermore. just 1 degrees under 100 at antioch down to the south. bay 93, san jose 98 at morgan hill, upper seconds to 90 or 91 degrees around the bay shoreline. san francisco. it's going to top out at 82 degrees today, and up in the north bay we'll see highs ranging from mid to upper seconds. now the heat advisory will be in effect from 11 a.m. tomorrow to 11 p.m. thursday for all locations in the bay area away from the coastline and the shore. the bay shoreline. i should say high temperatures will range from 90 to above 100 degrees. heat related illnesses are possible under these conditions, and a spare the air day today and tomorrow. in fact, a moderate air quality at best will see poor air quality in the inland east bay and the santa clara valley both of those days. and here's the accuweather seven day forecast. so this triple digit mini midweek heat wave will last through thursday, even on friday, as it starts to cool a little bit, we'll still see upper 90s in our inland areas,

but once we get to the weekend, we'll see further cooling and much more comfortable and a more healthful range of temperatures. >> stephanie. all right, spencer, thank you. now let's turn to ginger zee. she's live with a look at what's coming up on gma. >> good morning ginger. >> hey stephanie kumasi. nice to be with you. coming up here on gma we have to start with some pretty heavy stuff here. the anger in israel after six hostages were killed by hamas. we're going to tell you what prime minister netanyahu is now saying as demonstrators take to the streets. also, how the white house is responding as it works to get the remaining hostages home. and in the race for the white house, it's heating up now that labor day is behind us. vice president harris campaigned with president biden for the first time since he dropped out. plus, we have a look at the state of the race in the battleground states and our new series looks at smartphones in schools. we're taking you inside one high school that has had strict guidelines in place for a year. we're going to see what teachers and students have to say about that method. and then i'm going to take you behind the scenes of wheel of fortune, ryan seacrest getting ready to take
