Captain Chignell informed me that between 10AM and 11:30AM, on February 11, Taraval Station officers cited 31 drivers for failing to yield to pedestrians at Sunset and Santiago. This is an excellent example of the focused enforcement that helped to reduce traffic fatalities by 56% in the Taraval, and 37% Citywide, in 2008.

46% Increase in Drunk Driving Arrests
Yesterday we informed you on the increase in traffic citations in 2008, as well as the corresponding decrease in traffic fatalities. Continuing, below is a comparison of 2007 and 2008 DUI arrests. Driving while intoxicated is a serious matter and, in my view, the SFPD is doing an excellent job of focusing closely on this conduct. I reiterate that 15 fewer people died last year in traffic fatalities, than in 2007.

Going by the Numbers: Traffic Citations Up, Traffic Fatalities Down
The following statistics tell a compelling story. In many of the places in which the SFPD has stepped up vehicle code enforcement, we can see corresponding reductions in traffic fatalities. Citywide, traffic citations increased 19% and traffic fatalities decreased 37%. Fifteen fewer people were killed in traffic fatilities in 2008, than in 2007.
