Traffic in San Francisco
San Francisco is a large city, well-known for its scenic neighborhoods, historical architecture, and arterial thoroughfares. San Francisco is just one of the few cities in the country with arterial thoroughfares. Arterial thoroughfares are high-capacity urban roads, necessary in San Francisco due to the city’s unique geography.
However, this can lead to major traffic jams and heavy congestion on San Francisco roadways. According to mobility data of the San Francisco-Oakland area, there is an average of 6.6 hours of “congested time” on the roadways, resulting in total delays per peak auto commuter of 78 hours annually (per person).
According to the Metropolitan Transportation Commission, here are the top 10 worst Bay area commutes in the city:
- 1. Eastbound 80: 101 to Yerba Buena Island
- 2. Interstate 880: 238 to Dixon Landing Road
- 3. Southbound 101: Fair Oaks to 13th Street
- 4. Interstate 80: Hercules to Emeryville
- 5. Interstate 680: Bollinger Canyon to Treat Boulevard
- 6. Westbound 580: County line to Fallon Road
- 7. Interstate 680: South Mission Boulevard to Route 84
- 8. Eastbound 80: Bay Bridge to Gilman Street
- 9. Eastbound State Route 24: 27th Street to Wilder Road
- 10. Highway 101: Woodside Road to Hillsdale Boulevard
The busier the roads are, the higher the risk of major accidents. Some of the busiest roads in San Francisco are:
- Van Ness Avenue – It’s an arterial road that goes through the heart of the city to the Golden Gate Bridge
- 19th Avenue – A long road that extends from Interstate 280 on the way to the Golden Gate Bridge and travels north and south on the edge of the downtown business district
- Fell Street, Fulton Street, and Lincoln Way – All these roads run along Golden Gate Park, traversing the western part of the city in an east and south direction.
The Central Freeway, Bayshore Freeway, and the Highway 280 Extension are three other areas in San Francisco that have heavy traffic daily and have an increased risk of car accidents.
Types of Cases We Handle in San Francisco
With a population of over 881,549, it isn’t surprising how car accidents tend to occur as frequently as every day. San Francisco also has a diverse community. The five largest ethnic groups that make up San Francisco are White (Non-Hispanic) (40%), Asian (Non-Hispanic) (34.1%), Other (Hispanic) (7.77%), White (Hispanic) (5.35%), and Black or African American (Non-Hispanic) (4.98%).
Most people in San Francisco, CA, used public transit to get to work, and the average commute time was 30.9 minutes. The average car ownership in San Francisco, CA, was one car per household. No matter what your ethnicity or your status in life is, it is the duty of the town authorities to keep you safe from traffic accidents.
Traffic accidents
According to the data collected by the San Francisco government, there have been approximately 227 reported traffic fatalities in San Francisco from 2014-2019. Although San Francisco implemented the “Vision Zero” policy in 2014, traffic accidents are still an inevitable occurrence.
Bicycle & Pedestrian Accidents
Riding bicycles is an alternative to being stuck in a busy tourist & business gridlock. It is also a favorite recreational activity with all the sunshine our city has to offer. However, when it comes to bike accidents, San Francisco County is a hotspot. According to the San Francisco Municipal Transit Agency (SFMTA), around 10% of San Francisco residents regularly use their bicycles every day to go to work.
Our city also sees more than its fair share of bicycle & pedestrian accidents as people cross busy roads to get to the beaches. Every day, an average of two pedestrians are hit by motorists in San Francisco. According to the data collected by the California Highway Patrol’s Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System, there have been approximately 3,000 motor vehicle collisions involving cyclists in San Francisco, leading to 17 fatalities and more than 2,700 injuries from 2013-to 2017.
Although there has been a significant decrease in bicycle accidents since the implementation of Vision Zero, bicyclists and pedestrians are still encouraged to stay alert and vigilant for their safety.
Auto Accidents Are Not The Only Way A Victim Can Suffer Personal Injuries
There are many other types of accidents that can occur as a result of negligence. Arash Khorsandi hires the best personal injury lawyers in San Francisco, and they are experienced in handling many different types of personal injury cases at Arash Law. Here are just a few of the many types of accidents that can result in a personal injury claim:
San Francisco Construction Zone Accidents
Construction zones are highly dangerous places. According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, approximately 21% of people who die from workplace injuries are construction workers. Because this is a known danger, construction companies have a strong legal duty of care. They must ensure that construction zones are made as safe as possible.
They must ensure compliance with all federal, state, and local safety regulations applicable to the worksite. They must place signs and warnings to keep the public out of harm’s way. Construction companies that fail to do so can be found negligent. A negligent construction company has a legal obligation to compensate victims who sustain personal injuries on or near their job site.
While this generally applies to members of the public, construction companies also owe a duty of care to their employees. Reasonable precautions must be taken to ensure that construction workers have a safe workplace. A construction injury lawyer will understand the company’s duties to prove their negligence.
San Francisco Workplace Accidents
Construction sites are not the only workplaces that experience accidents. All employers owe a duty of care to their employees. This means that the employer must take reasonable steps to keep the workplace reasonably safe for those who work there. Some workplaces are more dangerous than others.
Warehouses, mines, chemical labs, and sites with heavy machinery all pose an increased risk of harm to employees. Employers who operate such facilities must take reasonable precautions to protect employees from these known dangers. In some cases, workplace safety laws specify exactly what those precautions are. In other cases, the steps must be “reasonable.” It is often left to a jury to determine whether an employer was “reasonable.”
Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect
Nursing homes, assisted living facilities, daycare, and other care facilities are all operated for a profit on the express promise of caring for your loved ones. Because of this, the law imposes a heightened duty of care of these facilities. There are strict standards for what is “reasonable” when a business is being paid to protect your loved ones. Many federal, state, and local regulations dictate what a facility must do to comply with the law.
But merely meeting the bare legal minimum is not enough to protect a care facility from liability. Many cases involving abuse or neglect at a care facility go to trial. This is because juries do not like it when these businesses neglect their clients. The thought that a juror’s loved ones could have been abused or neglected is persuasive.
Premises Liability Cases
Whether you are in a San Francisco County boutique shop or your AirBnB blocks away from the Golden Gate Bridge, property owners & managers have a responsibility to ensure the property is secured. This means keeping the floors & stairwells secured & free of hazards and things like installing fire alarms. If you are injured due to the negligence of a property owner or manager, you likely have a legal case on your hands that we can assist with.
Serious Injuries
Some injuries can result in significant life-altering consequences. These kinds of injuries are often referred to as catastrophic injuries and include traumatizing brain injuries (TBI), spinal cord injuries, and amputations. A San Francisco County personal injury attorney can often help victims of catastrophic injuries, and their families recover compensation.
