It is no secret that speeding is a large scale issue in Los Santos.
On a daily basis, vehicles are seen speeding through Los Santos and driving dangerously. From people on their commute to work, to people visiting the local shop. It is very rare that drivers stick to the imposed speed limit.
The LSPD are working hard to tackle this issue, however Los Santos is home to several speeding hotspots.
One of those speeding hotspots is Alameda Street. A vital route from Ganton to Idlewood, this road is used on a daily basis by most residents of Los Santos. However, it is also used for excessive speeding and vehicle accidents too.
Just yesterday, a vehicle accident occurred on Alameda Street. The accident was between a Subaru Forester and a Volvo S60. This isn’t the first accident that has happened on this stretch of road either.
Several weeks ago, a Los Santos Traffic Operator had a collision with a vehicle on the same corner. The vehicle in question pulled out of the Idlewood Motel at speed, causing an accident.
What Needs To Happen?
Speed kills. It’s simple.
The government need to take action on Alameda Street and other similar streets that act as a race track for dangerous drivers.
Stop signs are not enough. We need to see physical speed restraints such as Speed Bumps. They should also be paired with some form of speed management system, such as speed cameras.
Don’t forget, Alameda Street is also home to a lot of people who walk and cross the road. These are at the most risk, especially if a vehicle loses control at such speeds.
We have written to Interim Mayor, Emma Nilsen to ask for an official comment and strategy against vehicle speed and Alameda Street specifically.
