In recent years, traffic fatalities have remained stubbornly high across California despite efforts to reduce them. That’s especially true in Los Angeles where last year, more than 330 people — drivers, pedestrians and cyclists — were killed in collisions,  a number higher than the city’s homicide rate. In response to the toll, L.A. voters are voting  this election on a ballot measure that’s supposed to make the city’s streets safer.
