Car Accidents in San Francisco
Intersections like Potrero Ave and Mariposa St, located near major medical and commuter corridors, often see heavy traffic volumes throughout the day. These busy junctions pose a heightened risk for collisions due to constant merging, tight signal timing, and sudden stops. Crashes in these areas tend to occur during morning or afternoon rush hours when streets are filled with commuters, commercial vehicles, and local traffic navigating tight lanes.
Common causes of crashes in this area include failure to yield, unsafe turns, or distraction behind the wheel. In response, San Francisco continues to invest in Vision Zero initiatives aimed at reducing traffic injuries through improved infrastructure, clearer signage, and safer crosswalk designs. However, safe driving practices remain essential for everyone on the road.
