Traffic safety improvements are in the works at some of San Diego\u2019s most dangerous intersections, part of a list released Thursday by the city\u2019s traffic engineering team.<\/p>\n

That team conducts an annual review of the city\u2019s intersections to pinpoint where safety measures are most needed. The team looked at city traffic collision data from calendar year 2024 and \u201cevaluated intersections where five or more injury or fatal crashes had occurred,\u201d a city statement read. Engineers also looked at intersections where vehicles had hit pedestrians, where injuries were prevalent and more.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur engineers and field operations teams are working hand in hand to ensure these safety upgrades are implemented to maximize safety for all road users,\u201d said Transportation Department Interim Assistant Director Margaret McCormick. \u201cBeing able to carry out these projects with our in-house teams is important so the work can be completed as quickly and efficiently as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

The locations prioritized for potential safety enhancements are:<\/p>\n

\u2014 15th Street at F Street;<\/p>\n

\u2014 8th Avenue at Broadway;<\/p>\n

\u2014 Bayard Street at Grand Avenue;<\/p>\n

\u2014 8th Avenue at University;<\/p>\n

\u2014 Kettner Boulevard at Sassafras Street;<\/p>\n

\u2014 10th Avenue at A Street;<\/p>\n

\u2014 Otay Center Drive at Siempre Viva Road;<\/p>\n

\u2014 Garnet Avenue at Mission Bay Drive;<\/p>\n

\u2014 Fairmount Avenue between Montezuma Road and Talmadge Canyon Row;<\/p>\n

\u2014 Imperial Avenue between 53rd Street and Jacinto Drive;<\/p>\n

\u2014 Main Street between the I-5 off ramp and Woden Street;<\/p>\n

\u2014 Midway Drive between Kemper Street and Duke Street; and<\/p>\n

\u2014 Mission Gorge Road between Twain Avenue and Mission Gorge Place.<\/p>\n

Transportation crews have finished, or are in the process of completing, safety improvements at several locations, including the segments of Fairmount Ave., Main St. Mission Gorge Rd. and Imperial Ave.. Still, some must be completed through the city\u2019s Capital Improvement Program and will require additional funding to implement, a city statement read.<\/p>\n

Some of the safety recommendations for the above intersections are additional signs, flashing beacons and crosswalks to increase pedestrian visibility and have a traffic calming effect. The recommendations at other locations call for upgrading traffic signal lights, replacing or adding speed limit signs and installing pedestrian countdown timers.<\/p>\n

Additionally, intersections may receive longer red curbs as part of the new \u201cDaylighting Law,\u201d which prohibits vehicles from parking within 20 feet of a marked or unmarked crosswalk.<\/p>\n
