State and local lawmakers are raising concerns around road conditions near the summit of State Route 92, which a May 12 press release labeled as hazardous due to a naturally-occurring spring causing wet pavement.
State Sen. Josh Becker, D-Menlo Park, Assemblymember Marc Berman, D-Palo Alto, and San Mateo County Supervisor Ray Mueller — who represents the coastside — called on the California Department of Transportation to take action.
“Public safety is not negotiable, and if Caltrans knows there’s a danger on one of our major coastal routes, we expect more than monitoring — we expect a solution,” Becker said in the joint press release. “Action must be taken now to protect drivers before another accident occurs.”
The area has been the site of “repeated accidents” in recent weeks due to the slick, dangerous nature of the road, according to the press release, especially during high-traffic events like the recent coastside Pacific Coast Dream Machines festival.
California Highway Patrol did not immediately respond to requests for information on vehicular accidents on State Route 92, but Mueller said multiple constituents have reached out to his office with concerns and alleged accidents.
Crews have been sent out to do diversion work near the natural spring site, said Jeneane Crawford, Caltrans San Mateo public information officer, and as of last report the area was mostly dry.
The agency is looking into funding for a longer term drainage and repaving project in the area, Crawford said.
Mueller maintained the agency needed to do more to rectify the issue.
“They need to stop water from coming onto the highway. That’s just real simple — that’s not if funding is available,” he said. “You have to take it from present funding. This is an emergency fix, it’s not a question of whether or not funding is available.”
Systemic solutions to the problem must receive greater precedence from the agency, the press release said.
“Caltrans must treat this as a top priority,” Berman said. “A recurring hazard on a critical highway like 92 can’t be dismissed or delayed. We need clear signage, improved drainage or whatever is necessary to make this road safe — and we need it now.”

Just lower the speed limit. At low speed this is not a problem area.
Please remember the names: Josh Becker, Marc Berman, Ray Mueller. When advocates ask for safer roads for people walking or biking ... it's usually crickets from our leaders.
But here a senator and an assembly man jump into action for a few "alleged accidents" no one seems to have real information about.
Besides, "accidents" are just acts of god and it's not like anyone could do anything about those, right?
