Where are the dangerous intersections in La Jolla? Here’s a map

Some of our most dangerous moments happen simply from driving down the road. This week, we look at some trends in traffic collisions, and see where accidents are happening in your neighborhood. Collisions in San Diego First, a look at crash trends overall. Here’s how car crashes break down by neighborhood, since the beginning of 2023. Downtown, Southeastern San Diego and City Heights have some of the largest numbers. !function(){"use strict";window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}})}(); Citywide, San Diego sees about 100 to 150 collisions each week. Here’s a look at the trend since 2023. !function(){"use strict";window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}})}(); (Certain weeks in February and June 2024 show a notable decline in crashes, which may be a data anomaly. Officials with San Diego’s data and police departments did not respond to repeated inquiries over the course of several weeks seeking an explanation for these declines.) Crashes in La Jolla In the La Jolla Village News region, here’s the trend over the same time period: !function(){"use strict";window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}})}(); And here’s a look at the crash hotspots in the area. In general, fatal collisions are noted in red. Note, this map includes all crashes from city data where enough information is present to determine a location (usually, a street address or a precise intersection). Some collisions from this timeframe may not appear. Do you know a dangerous intersection hazard in your neighborhood? Have questions about our data, or something you’d like to see?
