The city of San Diego’s Traffic Engineering team has recommended safety improvements for locations with high crash rates in 2023.
City staff reviewed data from 2023 and found and evaluated seven locations where five or more crashes had occurred. The analysis also looked at intersections and street segments with the most injury crashes and crashes involving pedestrians.
The locations identified include five intersections and two street segments:
Art St. at El Cajon Blvd. Kurtz St. at Rosecrans St. Miramar Rd. at Nobel Dr. Briarwood Rd. at Paradise Valley Rd. Pacific Highway at Taylor St. El Cajon Blvd. from 63rd St. to Choctaw Dr. Market St. from 26th. to 27th St.“Our engineers and field operations teams are working hand in hand to ensure these safety upgrades are implemented to maximize safety for all users,” said Transportation Department Director Bethany Bezak.
The safety recommendations include adding additional signs, flashing beacons, and crosswalks aimed to improve visibility so drivers can see pedestrians entering the intersections. The recommendations also call for upgrading traffic signal lights, replacing or adding speed limit signs, and pedestrian countdown timers.
Where applicable, intersections may receive additional red curbs consistent with the new “Daylighting Law,” which prohibits vehicles from parking within 20 feet of a marked or unmarked crosswalk.
The city also completed a Systemic Safety Analysis, which identified similar characteristics across intersections where fatal crashes have occurred.
