The City of Concord is asking residents to weigh in on traffic safety concerns as it develops a long-term plan aimed at reducing serious crashes and fatalities on local roads. TAKE THE SURVEY!
City officials are currently working on a Comprehensive Safety Action Plan (CSAP), a data-driven effort designed to identify high-risk locations throughout Concord and outline strategies to improve safety. The plan will focus on a combination of engineering improvements, public education, and enforcement measures to address problem areas.
As part of the process, the city is seeking input from the community to help shape priorities and highlight streets or intersections that residents believe need attention.
One opportunity for the public to provide feedback will be a community outreach meeting scheduled for Monday, March 30 at 6:00 p.m. The meeting will take place at Centre Concord, located at 5298 Clayton Road.
City staff will be on hand to gather input on unsafe conditions, discuss potential improvements, and hear directly from residents about their concerns and priorities related to traffic safety.
Officials say community participation is a key component in building an effective plan to make Concord’s streets safer for everyone.
There are very few issues with the traffic safety structure in almost all collisions.
The people driving the cars recklessly are the greatest threat to traffic safety.
People not paying attention to driving, breaking existing laws, carelessness, and poor observance of basic character values create the chaos on the streets today.
Don’t waste money on fancy traffic lights.
Take the privilege of driving away from people who refuse to respect the law.

The majority of people on the road aren’t engaged in the privilege of “driving,” a commercial activity, but are engaged in their Constitutional “right to travel.” Unfortunately, the public has allowed the states to take away their rights and manipulate the law to classify everyone as a “driver.”
Here’s a plan to make traffic safer: Get reckless drivers off the road, and start writing speeding tickets for all speeding drivers.
Your Police are already handcuffed and cannot do anything……….it’s a State issue and Concord refuses to challenge the State.
Make fines/punishment for traffic violations severe. Run a red light, $550 fine and if not paid within a week your car is impounded with an additional fee of 1,000 a day for every day it stays in the impound lot.
I remember the days when you couldn’t drive around Concord without getting a ticket for something. You’d see motor cops hiding out all over the place with their radar guns.
I miss those days now. The amount of racers and speeders is incredible, and when is the last time you saw a car pulled over getting a ticket?
You can start by not allowing thugs that have no business in any community easy access to public habitations.
Set up new guidelines with the State and Local governments for motor vehicle safety courses. Yes, recertification driver Ed.
Be aware!!! Be proactive!!!
Specifically, vehicles are designed for specific purposes. They don’t all stop on a dime nor are sport tuned. Do not tail gate or follow too close.
If the Sun is too bright or in the eyes, then travel the same route when it is not. If residents of other communities are using the same roadways as a cut through, then they are not obeying the laws. They are taking advantage of the local residents. Not everyone enjoys limits. Limits are the key to a safe and wholesome environment.
Get the red light runners…. stop taking away traffic lanes for bike lanes… and remove all these “traffic calming” bollards and garbage in the streets

The State of California has mandated the bike lanes or other modes of transportation for our roadways when they’ve been repaved.
Next most efficient way is, Contra Costa Grand Jury.
From experience, abusive city employees riding around in
their cheap fleet vehicles, exhibiting repeated hostile behavior
of selective enforcement and harassment under the color
of authority. When, possibility of Grand Jury complaint is
mentioned, experience an almost instantaneous saint-like
conversion.

(Incidents happened in another city, and
were NOT made by sworn law enforcement)
Concord needs to add automated speed and red light enforcement. If you’re more than 5 MPH over the limit or if you run a red light you should automatically get a ticket. This is an easy technology to implement and it is badly needed.

More government controlled cameras is exactly what the City of Concord doesn’t need!!!
