You can’t get away from it. Point Loma and Ocean Beach between them have three of the top four most dangerous intersections for bicyclists within the City of San Diego.
This, according to an analysis as part of a project by local attorney Michael Bomberger, who is trying to make local bicycle riders more aware of the most dangerous areas.
Of the City of San Diego’s top 4 worse intersections, 3 are in OB and Point Loma:
- Midway Drive and Rosecrans Street – 15 crashes from 2010-16
- Saturn Blvd and Palm Ave – 10 crashes
- Rosecrans Street and Sports Arena Blvd – 9 crashes
- Nimitz Blvd and West Pt Loma Blvd – 8 crashes
Here is the San Diego U-T‘s chart for the County:
I used to ride my bike from Santa Monica Av to the Y: no more; too many speeding nitwits!
And none of them are south of Talbot on Rosecrans.
