Dangerous Roadways In San Mateo

Due to the terrain and high traffic, San Mateo has a number of roads that are the scenes of many accidents, including:

El Camino Real: Heavy traffic leads to many accidents between vehicles and with bicyclists and pedestrians. This is often the highest-ranked road in the Bay Area for wrongful deaths.

Highway 1: The area along the coast is particularly dangerous because of blind curves. Additionally, the highway is often traveled by people who don’t know the area.

Skyline Boulevard and Woodside Road: Speeding and reckless driving are two of the main issues with these roadways. The winding areas of the road are also tricky to navigate safely.

Highway 92: As another winding roadway, Highway 92 presents hazards to motorists, whether they are residents or visitors.
