While the amount of severe and fatal injury collisions across the Bay Area in 2024 went down compared to the year prior, Redwood City saw it more than double, and the most of such collisions in the last five years.
This statistic and others regarding traffic safety, recorded across a five-year period, will be studied at length at the upcoming Redwood City Council meeting Sept. 29.
Compared to 105 cities throughout California with a population between 50,001 and 100,000, Redwood City was ranked the “third worst” for traffic safety, according to 2022 rankings by California’s Office of Traffic Safety.
The data was collected as a part of the city’s Vision Zero strategy and goal to eliminate traffic fatalities and increase equitable mobility. The city has a goal to eliminate transportation-related fatalities and severe injuries by 2030.
Between 2019 and 2024, there were 3,287 collisions in the city. Of these, 18% involved pedestrians and cyclists, and 3% resulted in a fatal or severe injury.
In 2019, there were 596 total collisions in Redwood City. Of those, 264 resulted in injury, and 16 resulted in severe injury or fatality. These numbers dropped during the COVID-19 pandemic, and numbers began to rise again in 2022. In 2024, there were 693 total collisions, of which 332 resulted in injury and 26 resulted in severe injury or fatality.
According to Redwood City Police Department data, the biggest reasons for injury collisions between 2019 and 2024 were speeding, driving under the influence and failure to stop at red lights.
Mapping collisions shows that concentrations of incidents occur in areas designated as “Equity Priority Areas,” according to a staff report.
Pedestrian collisions tend to occur along major corridors such as Broadway, El Camino Real and Woodside Road near Middlefield Road. Bicycle collisions show concentrations at the intersection of Middlefield Road and Woodside Road, along El Camino Real, and near the Caltrain station.
The Redwood City Council will be presenting the data and receive progress updates regarding ongoing traffic safety improvements.
The council will meet at 6 p.m. Monday, Sept. 29, at 1017 Middlefield Road.
