San Francisco Injury Lawyer Blog

Alameda, a small island on the east side of the San Francisco Bay, is home to approximately 75,000 residents. Getting in and out of Alameda requires ferry, bridge or tunnel access for cars, motorcycles, pedestrians, bicycles, and all other vehicles. I-880 makes Alameda quite accessible as well with an exit a few short minutes from town. With a speed limit of 25 mph, Alameda would seem like an idyllic spot for those on foot; however, non-locals exiting the 880 into Alameda don't always obey or know about the decreased speed. If cars, buses and trucks don't slow down, the results can be dangerous and deadly for Alameda pedestrians. Have you or a loved one been injured in an Alameda accident? Then please call 1-800-ALAWPRO to speak with an attorney at no cost.

Alameda can be accessed by the U.S.’s only pedestrian and bicyclist drawbridge, as well as motor vehicle bridges at Park, High and Fruitvale Ave., tunnels at Harrison (the Posey Tube) and Webster. Public transit for Alameda residents includes two ferry services, Harbor Bay and Alameda-Oakland, as well as bus service provided by AC (Alameda County) Transit. But walkers and bikers beware! Advocate groups have had to take on the cause of protecting non-vehicular road users. Drivers exiting into Alameda from 880 can injure pedestrians. Accidents involving pedestrians are often fatal and injuries can include broken limbs, head and neck injuries, as well as severe lacerations.
