design and wonder if you can speak to that and the photos you showed of all the cars lined up in the red lane in the current situation suggest to me we may have an enforcement challenge with the abuse of the current lane. moving it is a traffic move but i wondered if you thought about enforcement so it doesn't continue? >> regarding the block crossings, i'll take the opportunity to point out the crosswalking lags we're proposing crosswalks on all the cross streets who don't currently have crosswalks. some are alleyways, more are minor streets that intersect with 3rd. we haven't looked at additional mid-block crossings we have one at perry under the freeway and one that connects to the yerba buena gardens and there's one at south park. that's a location we see major vehicle queueing at bryant. that box-blocking issue with pedestrian conflicts would be hard to address under current traffic conditions at that location. also, it's not a street that crosses third. it just intersections third and from a geometric perspective there's less urgency than there otherwise would be. regarding enforcement,

what i see is we have a red carpet lane on geary and cars are coming into it. there's congestion, there's other issues. are there other streets we should be considering where we just make them red carpet only and really make the entire street no private vehicles other than perhaps taxi and deliveries. i realize that's a grand thing but we were challenging earlier to be policy makers and if congestion is the problem slowing the busses down, not a lack of bus or coaches just too many cars in the way, we are disincentivizing people to take the bus. in dissatisfaction to the robust plans we have about b.r.t. and market street we could look at what corridors that aren't that great for car flow in the first place and make them entirely red c carpet. could be during peak hours or all-time service. there's many streets that flow that are narrow but nevertheless flow really well, east and west and north and south. turk street comes to mind for me. i would suggest the highest priority let's consider how we'll address this congestion issue more boldly and reward people for

these are red transit only lanes or, as some call them, represented carpet lanes. they're meant to allow muni to get through traffic. but businesses are still in traffic. now the question has come up, should the whole street be red, with no private cars. >> traffic is horrible already. >> reporter: luis doesn't want any more red transit only lanes in san francisco. he says he was recently caught driving in one. >> there's nobody using the lanes. so why not fill it? and then you get a ticket for it. believe, because i just got one. >> reporter: the chair of the sfmta board, malcolm heinecki, suggested it's time to look at buses and taxis on the whole street. >> it's time to make them all red carpet, maybe just for peak hours, maybe for the entire service. >> reporter: he says if there are more efficient buses, there could be fewer cars and fewer dangers on the seat, especially following the death of the bicyclist on howard street. this man worries about drivers. >> they drive bonkers sometimes. that could prevent more accidents and whatnot. >> reporter: we have heard

have been thinking about this a lot in terms of education and how often the roads are changing, red lane, green lane. i don't know that education is keeping up with it. i hear that all of the time. i got my license when i was 16. for some people that was long ago like me. they don't feel like they know how to effectively navigate the new changes. i feel like that education piece is really missing. also the education piece in terms of really making people aware what happens when you park your car and you start to open your door. what you need to look for. i can't stop thinking about this. maybe it is there and i haven't seen it. an educational component to road changes and also for people to know their part. this is what you need to do if you are a driver, a cyclist, pedestrian, know your part, keep each other safe. i would like to see and know if there is any type of educational campaigns around that. >> that is a good question. the presentation you talked about driving in today's sf is one of the campaigns we will launch next year specifically aimed at that issue. we are at the cutting
