Coronado Car Accident Lawyer Asks for Residents and Visitors to Keep Coronado Safe from Auto Accidents
Coronado, also known as Coronado Island, is a city located in San Diego County across the San Diego Harbor from Downtown San Diego. It is 5.2 miles away from Downtown San Diego and is known to be one of the most expensive places to live in throughout the entire United States. Coronado is also located on a peninsula that’s connected to the mainland by an isthmus of about 10 miles known as The Strand or The Silver Strand. The total population according to the 2000 census, the total population in Coronado has reached up to 24,100 people with a total area of 32.7 square miles.
Thanks to the opening of the San Diego-Coronado Bridge in 1969, people are able to get to San Diego and the cities around it through faster transit. Before this bridge was built, transportation was limited to ferries and driving through State Route 75 (SR-75) along the Silver Strand. As of today, State Route 75 and State Route 282 (SR-282) are now known for fast paced traffic. Major streets around the city include Alameda Boulevard, Ocean Boulevard, and Silver Strand Boulevard. Other streets around the city include 1st, 3rd, and 4th Streets located near Orange Avenue.
Though located near the ocean area, the people of Coronado are not immune to auto and motorcycle accidents. With a total of 101 motor vehicle injuries, the 2008 Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS) Report shows 8 car accident injuries involving drunk driving, 7 injuries involving pedestrians, 16 injury accidents from car vs. bicycle accidents, and 16 crashes involving cars and motorcycles.
“Coronado is a favorite tourist destination and, considering the number of visitors who are unfamiliar with the area, has a relatively low occurrence of traffic accidents,” said Coronado car accident lawyer Ross Jurewitz. “Nonetheless, local residents and visitors need to remain careful and vigilant in order to avoid causing or becoming involved in auto accidents.”
