🐍 The warmer spring weather means rattlesnakes and other wildlife are more active earlier. Most bites happen between April and October, so it’s a good time to stay alert outdoors. Here are a few quick safety tips: • Stay aware of your surroundings and avoid tall grass or brush • Wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes outside • Keep dogs leashed and close to you • Keep yards tidy and clear areas where snakes may hide If you see a rattlesnake, keep your distance and slowly back away. For emergencies or bites, call 9-1-1. For non-emergency situations where a rattlesnake poses an immediate risk, contact the San Diego Humane Society Humane Law Enforcement team at 619-299-7012 (press 1 for Dispatch).

Barrio stop signs
The City of Carlsbad is installing new all-way stop signs at four intersections in the Barrio as part of the city’s efforts to help reduce speeds and improve safety in the Barrio.
- Chestnut and Madison
- Chestnut and Roosevelt
- Magnolia and Madison
- Oak and Jefferson
Construction schedule
February 27 to March 13
Monday to Friday
6 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
If you’re in the area, here’s what you can expect during construction:
- Temporary lane closures and parking restrictions will be in place during construction hours.
- Crews will complete this work as quickly as possible to minimize inconveniences. No impacts to resident access are anticipated.
- You may notice noise from pavement grinding and construction vehicles.
Additional construction in the Barrio
This work is part of a larger set of infrastructure improvements taking place in the Barrio this year and lasting through spring 2027. Improvements include:
- Traffic safety measures
- Water and sewer pipeline replacements
- Pedestrian lighting improvements
Most work will occur Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., though some night work will be required. When that happens, we will notify neighboring homes and businesses in advance.
