Daylight saving time ended on Sunday, November 2, which means dark evenings have started sooner. As more people travel in the dark after daylight saving time ends, traffic fatalities and severe injuries increase during this time. Traffic fatalities have decreased in 2025, from 49 in 2024 to 31 this year, but we are still a long way from our goal of zero fatalities.

To help remind drivers to be safe and prevent crashes after the end of daylight saving time, we are placing several electronic message boards across San José from early November until March 2026. These boards display messages that remind drivers to slow down and be aware of people walking across the road. You can find them at the following locations and on the listed dates. Please note that these locations and dates are subject to change.

Slow down, put your cell phone and other distractions away, and look out when it’s dark out!
