2.9 Collision History

Bicycle and pedestrian collision data was obtained from the Transportation Injury Mapping System (TIMS) collision dataset, which captures reported bicycle-vehicle, pedestrian-vehicle, and bicycle-pedestrian collisions that resulted in injury or property damage in Artesia in the five-year period of 2014 through 2018. Collision density and locations data are displayed on Figure 2-6. Collisions on off-street paths are not reported in the dataset. It is important to note that collisions involving bicyclists and pedestrians are known to be under-reported, and therefore such collisions are likely under-represented in this analysis.

Between 2014 and 2018, there were 24 bicycle-related collisions, 16 pedestrian-related collisions, and 165 vehicle-related collisions. The bulk of these collision types resulted in complaints of pain (75.6%) and visible injury (22%). Only one vehicular collision resulted in a fatality. According to the map, areas of high collision density occur along Pioneer Boulevard, the CA SR-91 on and off-ramps, and along 183rd Street.
