Commission votes to codify three pilot multiway stops after positive trial results
Summary
After at least six months of pilot operation with positive neighborhood feedback and no reported collisions, the commission voted 3–0 to add three trial multiway/all-way stops to the municipal code so they are enforceable by police.
The Traffic Safety & Parking Commission voted unanimously to recommend codifying three pilot multiway/all-way stops into Burlingame’s municipal code, making the stop locations enforceable by police. Staff reported the pilot installations — including at Hillside & Bernal and other nearby intersections — have been in place from several months to over a year and produced positive feedback from the community with no reported collisions.
Staff said codification adds the specific intersections to the municipal code so police officers can cite the exact code section if drivers violate the new stop-control locations. Commissioners described observed safety benefits near schools and parks and supported taking the pilot locations through the formal code-adoption process.
Why it matters: Codifying successful pilot traffic controls is a common city practice to convert temporary safety measures into enforceable permanent changes; the commission’s vote moves the matter forward to staff reports and council consideration.
