The steep, narrow and scenic roads of Mount Diablo State Park attract growing legions of bicyclists, but they ride in danger of colliding with cars — especially on the many blind curves.

Now, in the first major road-safety improvement project in decades at the park, officials are rolling out $366,000 in new road signs, stop signs and no-passing striping in center lanes in hopes of reducing collisions involving cars and cyclists at the recreation area visited by more than a million people a year.

“We think this project will make a difference in making the mountain safer for cyclists and motorists,” said Al Kalin, a Danville resident and president of Mount Diablo Cyclists, a safety group that pushed for the changes. “Little was being done, but our group has worked with the state legislators and state parks, and now things have happened.”
