City Congestion Changes

Although it may feel like traffic on the streets of San Francisco is getting worse, the city has actually become less congested with cars and speeds on the streets have gotten slightly faster over the past two years. However, there are more pedestrians and bikers on the streets, meaning that crosswalks are crowded, which can cause delays. Construction along main thoroughfares such as Market have caused closed or narrowed lanes that also make driving through the city feel slower. [SFGate]
