The 76.6-mile-long Antelope Valley Line has the third-highest ridership in Metrolink’s system with an estimated average of 9,000 passengers daily. However, the uneven terrain and single-tracking along the line in some areas forces trains to travel at a slower speed which results in an estimated travel time of approximately one hour between Santa Clarita and Union Station.

I don’t know how to blame. The council or the sheriff dept.. We have minimal traffic enforcement in this valley. Once in a great while you will see someone getting a ticket. I live on Barbacoa Dr. and people always speed on our street. To date I have never seen any enforcement. I have lived here 48 year.
Lyons has become really bad. Even on non-rush hour times.
Time to crack down on these road bullies, it truly blows my mind that SCV law enforcement has not earned a million dollars on traffic tickets alone!
Was quite surprised to see this commentary from the Mayor. The speed limit on most streets in Santa Clarita average 50 miles per hour. Santa Clarita has become a more populated area and a 50 mile per hour speed limit invites danger as most people naturally exceed the speed limit by about 5 miles per hour. There is also a need for right turn lanes in high traffic areas. For example there is no right turn land into the only entrance to the Post Office on Mc Bean Pkwy, this causes cars to brake or quickly switch lanes. Same cam be said for the entrance to Target off of Mc Bean. The Mayor and City Council should consider lowering the speed limit in populated areas and creating right turn lanes into shopping centers.
One of the biggest problems is people failing to yield to emergency vehicles. Countless times we have people race alongside the ambulance or continue straight in front of us so that they can make it to the left turn lane that is half a mile up the road. Or the most dangerous habit, people don’t know what to do or don’t care so they slam on the breaks in the left lane.
Since the City took out those hated cameras at several intersections, the City has NOT provided us with statistics on those intersections. The claim was that they reduced accidents, but did they? And what happened since they were taken out?
Mayor Keller’s comments are welcome. However, they miss one point: the tremendous growth in traffic on our roads. This, in my opinion, is one of the major causes of accidents, whether due to unsafe driving or just due to jammed roadways and intersections. for example, look at Railroad Ave at 5 pm! Look at the number of trailer trucks that now use RR Ave and Newhall Ranch Road! And still the City and the County allow all sorts of housing developments, until, I suppose, every square inch of vacant land will be filled with dwellings, each of which will sport 2 or more vehicles. Traffic engineers can do their part, but they do not control the volume of traffic that is choking us.
