Dangerous Coto de Caza Roads and Intersections
Dangerous Coto de Caza Intersections As a Function of Demographics
October 16, 2007
The changing Coto de Caza demographics have had a major impact on the collision pattern as shown below. Whereas for the period from 2000 through November 2004, 75% of the collisions in the community involved three roads, current collision distribution spreads out over eight.
Similarly, to arrive at the most dangerous intersections in the community, we took the CHP Collision Listing from 2000 through August 2007 and analyzed a total of 116 collisions. The reported accidents did not necessarily take place at the intersection, hence the label “Nearest Cross Street”
