Look both ways on one-way streets, too … a panicked wrong-way driver could be heading toward you: Roadshow

Published Sat, 23 Nov 2024 02:55:14 GMT

Q: Thank you for your recent column on pedestrian safety, especially the advice to “Look left-right-left.” I just returned from a vacation in India, where they drive on the left side of the road, so am in the habit of looking in both directions before crossing the street.I live in downtown San Jose, which has many one-way streets. In the last week, I was almost run over three times by cars going the wrong way. The only thing that saved me was that I looked in both directions before crossing. Cars driving the wrong direction have no stoplight facing them, so even though I have a green crossing signal, they careen through the intersection. They’re often driving fast because they realize their error, are panicking and trying to find a place to turn around.Related ArticlesTransportation | Why has price of hydrogen fuel jumped so high?

Here’s where Caltrans is concerned about Bay Area under-freeway storage after L.A.’s I-10 fire

Published Sat, 23 Nov 2024 02:55:14 GMT

Stacks of wooden pallets, vehicles, trailers, storage bins, appliances, RVs and equipment all crowd the Interstate 580 underpass in West Oakland, corralled by a tall black metal gate. A sign declares “State Property, No dumping, No Parking, No Trespassing.” Another advertises “Yard space for rent! Trucks, RVs, buses, large equipment and more.”The site near Emeryville is among more than a dozen Bay Area under-freeway spaces that the California Department of Transportation flagged for immediate reinspection after a similarly crammed storage area under Interstate 10 in Los Angeles erupted in flames Nov. 11.That massive blaze, believed to be arson, ignited on an adjacent storage yard. The flames, so intense they spread to the roadway above, closed the vital artery that carries more than 300,000 daily drivers for eight days and put a spotlight on Caltrans’ program of leasing storage space on right-of-way land under and alongside state highways.And it isnR...

Modern earthquakes in US could be aftershocks from quakes in the 1800s, scientists say

Published Sat, 23 Nov 2024 02:55:14 GMT

By Allison Chinchar | CNNAfter large earthquakes, there is an expectation that aftershocks could occur in the hours and days that follow, but aftershocks from some of the strongest earthquakes in recorded United States history may still be happening — nearly 200 years later, new research has found.Frequent aftershock activities stemming from a trio of quakes that occurred near the Missouri-Kentucky border between 1811 and 1812, and a separate earthquake in Charleston, South Carolina, in 1886, are likely continuing today, according to a study published recently in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth.One of the regions researchers focused on, called the New Madrid seismic zone, encompasses present-day Memphis and the surrounding Mid-Mississippi River Valley area, and the other includes Charleston and the surrounding coastal plain. Seismic activity in these relatively stable regions of North America is not well understood, and its nature is debated among scientists, the st...

Published Sat, 23 Nov 2024 02:55:14 GMT

SANTA CLARA – The 49ers’ birdwatching tour resumes this week with the familiar sight of Seahawks.Yes, the 49ers just scoped out these NFC West rivals on Thanksgiving Night and won 31-13 in Seattle. That division rivalry offers enough motivation to avoid a letdown after Sunday’s 42-19 titanic triumph over the host Philadelphia Eagles.After this Sunday’s visit by the Seahawks (6-6), the 49ers (9-3) face two more feathered friends – Dec. 17 at the Arizona Cardinals, Dec. 25 against the Baltimore Ravens — before a stretch run as empty nesters, so to speak.The 49ers are on a four-game win streak, and none was bigger than walloping the NFC-leading Eagles to pull within one game in the race for the No. 1 playoff seed.On the flip side, the Seahawks are on a three-game losing streak, with each of their past two losses coming on Thursday nights, the last being a 41-35 defeat at the Dallas Cowboys (9-3).TOP STORYLINESNEWFOUND ACCLAIM: Well look who’s the Super Bowl favorite: the 49ers.

Editorial: California Legislature must act to support local news

Published Sat, 23 Nov 2024 02:55:14 GMT

It may seem overly dramatic to say that democracy hangs in the balance, but it does.The local news business has been struggling for well over a decade as online search engines and social media have siphoned audience and revenue away from traditional publishers. The tech companies redistribute the content of local publishers and sell their own advertising against that content.That’s not fair, and it’s definitely not fair use.But somehow it’s still permitted as lawmakers continue debating how to stop the practice.To that end, the state Senate Judiciary Committee is holding a hearing today on the California Journalism Preservation Act, a bill that would require companies such as Google and Facebook to reimburse news publishers for use of their content.To some, it may sound outlandish to suggest that search sites and social media companies should be expected to pay for the content they distribute. Google and Facebook and their parent companies Alphabet and Meta certainly think so, and t...

EDD taps Money Network as its new unemployment contractor

Published Sat, 23 Nov 2024 02:55:14 GMT

By Lauren Hepler | CalMattersCalifornia has a new unemployment and disability payment contractor after the state’s multi-billion-dollar pandemic fraud panic.The Employment Development Department hopes it will be the end of an era of brazen scams, which wreaked havoc for laid-off workers and fueled police busts involving stacks of ill-gotten debit cards issued at the department’s direction by then-contractor Bank of America.EDD said Monday that it plans to begin notifying 850,000 benefit recipients of the new payment provider: Money Network, an electronic payment company owned by finance tech company Fiserv.Money Network may sound familiar; it was also tapped by the federal government and Gov. Gavin Newsom to pay out COVID-era stimulus funds, which attracted its own waves of debit card scams.Money Network won the EDD contract after a competitive bidding process. It comes as the agency embarks on a five-year, $1.2 billion tech overhaul known as EDDNext.The contract will primarily be p...
