Slow Streets Program
This initiative is intended to create safe shared spaces allowing residents get around their neighborhoods for essential travel while maintaining physical distance from others. Slow Streets San Diego supports the City's Vision Zero Program, which aims to make our streets and sidewalks safer for all road users.
Current Locations
- Pacific Beach - Diamond Street from Mission Boulevard to Haines Street
- North Park - Lincoln Avenue from Alabama Street to Utah Street
- Emerald Hills – Old Memory Lane from Roswell Street to Emerald Hills Park
- Emerald Hills – Tooley Street from 60th to Emerald Hills Park
- College Area – Saranac Street from 67th to 70th
Slow Streets will not impact emergency vehicles, deliveries, public transit services or residents that must use these streets to access a final destination. Temporary road openings will be implemented as a phased approach.

Please slow down and safely share the road with the expectation that people walking, parents with strollers, bicyclists, or wheelchair users will be in the street.
