NAVIGATING FREMONT STREETS Powering Connections

As Fremont grows and innovates, the City’s roadway infrastructure evolves to enhance safety and accessibility for all residents, including older adults who drive, bike, or walk. The City’s Mobility Action Plan aims to increase walking and biking, while reducing crashes involving vulnerable residents. The Age Well Centers are committed to educating older adults on safely navigating new infrastructure treatments, ensuring they remain confident and secure behind the wheel.

The recent changes in Fremont’s roadways include the addition of roundabouts, protected intersections and bike lanes, street markings, and updated traffic signals. These improvements are designed to reduce severe injury/fatal crashes and reduce vehicle speeds while improving traffic flow, but they can be unfamiliar to many drivers.

To support the older adult community, this information is being shared to explain the changes, including:

• Navigating roundabouts

• Protected intersection

• New bike lane configurations

• New pedestrian crossing treatments

• New pavement markings

Also, many major roadways have traffic signals coordinated for the posted speed limit. Driving at the posted speed limit allows one to navigate the streets with fewer red lights. To learn more about navigating Fremont’s roadways please visit city.fremont.gov/navigatingfremontroadways
