Local Road Safety Plan

City Staff and Kimley-Horn, the consulting team, identified10 locations to use as case studies. These 10 locations were identfied as case study locations due to the number of collisions, over representation of collisions, type of collisions, or severity of collisions.

The 10 locations are:

• Washington Street & Del Monte Avenue (Lighthouse Tunnel)
• Lighthouse Avenue & Prescott Avenue
• Del Monte Avenue & Sloat Avenue
• Munras Avenue & Soledad Drive
• Lighthouse Avenue & McClellan Avenue
• Del Monte Avenue & English Avenue
• Del Monte Avenue & Hannon Avenue
• Del Monte Avenue & Roberts/Virgin Avenue
• Del Monte Avenue between Camino El Estero & Camino Aguajito
• Garden Road from Fairground Road to Sky Park Way

The primary data source for determining collision trends and emphasis areas (i.e. bicycles, pedestrians, DUI) is from police department collision reports. Collision reports include important information for determining tends such as the primary collision factor or primary cause of the accident, severity of injury, and collision type.

The graph below shows collision types by year which occurred in the City of Monterey between 2019 and 2023. Collision type is a general description of the type of collision which was the first event, for example if a driver rear-ends the car in front of him, it would be considered a rear-end crash type. If the car that rear-ended, gets pushed of the road and hits a sign, although the car hit an object the overall collision type is still rear-end not hit object.

The graphs below the Crash Injury Level by year and for the overall time period of 2019 to 2023. The majority of collisions which occur in the City of Monterey are Property Damage Only (PDO), this accounts for nearly 70% of total collisions in the City of Monterey. In comparison, the Fatal and Severe collisions account for two percent (2%) of the total collisions.

A big thank you to our Police Department and Information Services Division for the help in extracting collision data.

Please note that this data only includes reported collisions including collisions reported after the fact, also 2023 data is provisional and does not include the entire year, you can click on an image to see it in a larger size.

The map below shows bicycle and pedestrians collisions which occurred in the City of Monterey between 2019 and 2023. Bicycle and Pedestrian Collisions are of interest as bicycle and pedestrian collisions can result in a higher severity collision as vulnerable road users.

The map below shows fatal and severe injury collision which occurred in the City of Monterey between 2019 and 2023. The Local Road Safety Plan and the City's Vision Zero Policy specifically focus on reducing fatal and severe injury collisions to zero.

The map below shows the crash network screening analysis for the City of Monterey between 2019 and 2023, this map shows the frequency of collisions for intersections and for the roadway segments between intersections.
