Hands down, James Donlon. A close second would be Hillcrest or Deer Valley.

Add lone tree and get all four of these streets on lockdown. Antioch Police are terrible at traffic enforcement. As a Lyft driver who is always on the road, I never see Antioch or Pittsburgh conducting traffic enforcement. Go to Concord Police and learn how to do your jobs effectively. They are always visible and you don’t see people driving like idiots in Concord, because you are more likely going to get caught.

Willow pass you have people that use the median or shoulder during early traffic hours!

Lone Tree Way early in the am. I leave for work at 5 am and it’s a freeway with a race to see who can cut me off in the east bound freeway entrance. And just because you’re saving so much time by blowing through the metering lights. SMH

Intersection of Lone Tree Way and Canada Valley Road – 4 or 5 cars run the red light there every single time the light changes.

HYW 4 from Brentwood to Concord

Buchanan !!!! People pass each other in the center divide allll the time! It’s crazy cause there’s a school, a park, and houses all around!

But of course the second would be James donlon! People don’t care about the pedestrians in the crosswalk… just zoom by!

And I agree with the Lyft driver, I see cops look the other way all the time around here when there’s speeders, red light runners, and all around bad drivers

Leland, from Antioch to Pittsburg. You pass 3 schools and most people speed. The speed signage goes from 30 after you pass the Mall then eventually to 45 after you pass the BART. I have seen orople drive down the middle of the road, shoulder and even the sidewalk. So scary.

Definitely Highway 4!

Lone Tree, Brentwood to Antioch. As a home health clinician, I am on the road most of the day and I FREQUENTLY see blatant red-light runners and cutting off people almost taking off the front end. It would be nice to see one of these offenders pulled over.

Lone-tree needs llight at Terranova
Also James Donlan
G street

The Laurel Freeway thru Oakley. 20-30mph over the limit is the norm and it’s a rarity to see somebody do more than pause for a right turn on reds onto Laurel…usually they just roll right on thru.

Balfour Rd. Brentwood

Hands down Balfour in Brentwood.

W Cypress Rd in Oakley. As a resident of this “main road” people come flying down the street trying to make the light, people turn the corner and think it’s a bright idea to gas it so their tires screech and the car gets sideways. I can’t even pull out or park in my driveway with out someone almost hitting me and taking me out, I’m also seen people get so close to my car or a mother family car that they hit our mirror and knock it off just to keep going. It’s ridiculous.

Lone Tree Way – end to end
Deer Valley Road
Hillcrest Ave

This whole region has become the Wild West on the roads, with no enforcement in sight, ever. Who would have thought that stopping at red lights would become optional—yet that’s the state of things these days.

Every street that leads to a freeway exit/entrance from willow pass road to Balfour road off highway 4. it’s a raceway. You literally have to hit 80 just to get on. And God forbid the metering lights are on. Cause everyone else’s time is just that much more valuable then the next person.

West Tregallas Rd. People think they are on the dang racetrack and this is a residential area with a pre kindergarten school there as well and no-one slows down…the average speed there is at least 45mph in all reality posted it’s 25mph..we definately need someone to do something.
