CAR ACCIDENTS IN US: Oceanside Car Accidents Caused by High-Risk Intersections

Experienced Oceanside car accident [1] lawyers tell us the
third-largest city in San Diego County has experienced dramatic growth
with increased commercial and industrial development. Unfortunately,
as Oceanside grew, so did traffic congestion and the number of car
accidents [2]. As in most cities, certain streets and intersections
become accident [3] prone.

Local police identified Oceanside's top car accident [4] locations as
College Boulevard and Oceanside Boulevard, North River Road and
College Boulevard, Mission Avenue between Butler Street and Amick
Street, College Boulevard and Plaza Drive, College Boulevard and Via
Cupeño, Oceanside Boulevard and Melrose Drive, College
Boulevard and Barnard Drive, El Camino Real and Vista Way, Mesa Drive
and College Boulevard, and Oceanside Boulevard and Rancho del Oro.

These locations and their corresponding car accidents [5] contributed
to the tragic tally of Oceanside car collisions. According to data
from the California Highway Patrol Statewide Integrated Traffic
Records System (SWITRS), in 2006, there were 21 car accident [6]
deaths in Oceanside and 779 car accident [7]-related injuries.
Motorcycle accidents [8] killed one and injured 90. DUI collisions
took their toll, accounting for 12 fatalities and 120 injuries.

Traffic enforcement should be stepped up in high car accident [9]
locations. Roads should be widened and better signs should be erected
in areas where appropriate to reduce the opportunity for car
collisions.

State Route 76, which runs through Oceanside, has also seen an
excessive number of car accidents [10]. The CHP recently stepped up
its enforcement along this route, and Caltrans has installed larger
and more traffic signs at the intersection of SR-76 and Douglas Drive.

Like many cities across the country, Oceanside decided to employ
red-light cameras to reduce car accidents [11] at its high-traffic
intersections. But in an unexpected twist, rear-end car accidents [12]
actually went up after red-light cameras were installed at College and
Oceanside Boulevard. Police indicated that in a nine-week span, there
were eight rear-end car accidents [13] at Oceanside and College, up
from only one car accident [14] during the same time before the
cameras were put up. Police blamed the eightfold increase [15] on
drivers who slammed on their brakes when they thought a light was
about to turn red to avoid having their picture taken. On the plus
side, the rear-end car accidents [16] were not as severe as the
head-on or side-impact car collisions typically caused [17] by
red-light runners.

Helping to reduce car accidents [18] at the local neighborhood level
and make streets safer for children, Oceanside adopted a novel Keep
Kids Alive yard-sign campaign. The program produced a 16 percent
decrease in the average speed of cars traveling in designated
neighborhoods. Over a 20-month period, more than 75 percent of drivers
braked when passing a Keep Kids Alive-Drive 25 yard sign.

Neighborhood efforts like these can save lives. Alerting motorists to
slow down in the presence of children is an ideal way to reduce
tragedies.
