The SF Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) has quietly been adding angled

parking near businesses in the Outer Sunset District.

It sounds like a good idea to increase parking availability

around a high traffic area, but the SFMTA did not resize the sidewalks.

As a result, the size of the roadway is much diminished, to the point of

forcing an alternative one-way on a two-way street. This is of course unexpected, and

not marked by any signage.

A car traveling on Judah Street and turning onto 26th Avenue in the

southbound direction can come face to face with a car going northbound without

any warnings, because of the cars (and large pickup trucks) impeding

visibility of any oncoming traffic. And at

that intersection, the job was also pretty

sloppily done, with quite a spill of red

marking paint.
