What are Complete Streets?¿Qué son las Calles Completas?
Complete Streets are streets for everyone, no matter who they are or how they travelCalles completas son calles para todos, sin importar quienes son o como viajan
Safe Comfortable ConvenientSeguras Cómodas Convenientes
Whether you’re walking, cycling, driving or taking transitSi camina, anda en bici, maneja o toma transporte público
Safe Comfortable ConvenientSeguras Cómodas Convenientes
Whether you’re young, old, able or disabledDe cualquier edad, joven, adulto, o discapacitado
Benefits: Safety Beneficios: SeguridadSlowing traffic improves safety for everybody, especially people walkingReducir la velocidad mejora la seguridad para todos,especialmente peatones

15 MPH20 MPH
Speed MattersLa velocidad es clave
25 MPH30 MPHAs speed increases, driver focuses less on surroundingsAl aumentar la velocidad el conductor se enfoca menos en su alrededor
Curbs and sidewalks slow traffic more than speed sign
El borde de la calle y las banquetas reducen más la velocidad que el letrero con el límite de velocidad
Benefits: HealthCenters for Disease Control and Prevention recommend adoption of Complete Streets policies as strategy to increase physical activity.
Beneficios: SaludLos Centros para el Control y Prevención de la Enfermedad recomiendan adoptar normas de Calles Completas como estrategia para aumentar la actividad física.

La gente sí andará en bicicleta: Lo que nos demuestran las encuestas
But #1 reason people give for not biking is… Safety
Concern about riding with automobile traffic is the number one barrier to cycling.
Pero la razón principal para no andar enbicicleta es… la seguridad
“El obstáculo principal al ciclismo es la preocupacion de andar con los carros”.

Tools to Make Streets Safe and Comfortable for Walking
Técnicas para hacer calles másseguras y cómodas para caminar
Need comfortable sidewalksNecesitamos banquetas cómodas
Need sidewalks that are wide enough for 2 people to walk side-by-sidePara que dos personas puedan caminar lado a lado necesitamos aceras depor lo menos 5 pies de ancho.
Sidewalks need good buffersLas banquetas necesitan buena separación
Crossing width 5 feet
Grade slows traffic
Planter strip
Sidewalk with buffer to the street makes it much easier to meet ADA requirementsLa banqueta con separación hace más fácil cumplir con los requisitos para discapacitados
Neighborhoods Need Good Street Crossings
West Sacramento
Los vecindariosnecesitanbuenos cruces de calle
High visibility crosswalk markings
Cruces peatonales de alta visibilidad
Some crosswalks stand outAlgunos cruces son muy visibles
Curbextensions:Don’t just reduce crossing distance
Other advantagesBetter visibility (both ways)Traffic calmingRoom for street furniture
Las extensionesde banquetas:No solo reducen la distancia paracruzar
Otras ventajas:Más visibilidad (en ambasdirecciones)Apaciguamiento del tráficoEspacio para muebles de la calle
Illumination – essential for any crossingAlumbrado – esencial en los cruces peatonales
If you mark a crosswalk – light it.Almost 50% of pedestrian crashes occur at night
Si marcamos un cruce tambiéndebemos alumbrarloCasi el 50% de los choques con peatones ocurren en la noche
