The Unique Traffic Problems of Laguna Beach
Experienced Laguna Beach accident injury lawyers have long known that Laguna Canyon Road is one of the deadliest in the U.S. Daily commuters who have become very familiar with this road will often speed and tailgate newcomers. Unsafe passing into oncoming traffic has caused many tragic car crashes.
Another area deemed hazardous, especially for pedestrians, bicyclists and skateboarders, is Park Avenue at Third Street. Crossing this intersection can be very risky. One other dangerous are is the stretch of Pacific Coast Highway that cuts through Laguna Beach. Tourists who are not familiar with PCH's hectic, speeding traffic, often try to jaywalk or ignore traffic lights and end up getting struck by passing motorists.
PCH can also be especially hazardous for bicyclists. Vehicles moving at or over the speed limit typically leave little room between parked cars for bicyclists. As one cyclist complained, "If someone opens a parked car door at the wrong time, it's all over."
