Sacramento has been experiencing high numbers of traffic collisions characterized by a stubbornly high rate of fatal and serious injury crashes. In 2025, Sacramento County surpassed the 100-fatality milestone before the year ended, with Sacramento city itself recording 32 deaths. According to the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) and city audits, a staggering 46% of all serious or fatal crashes involve pedestrians and cyclists, despite these groups representing just over 1% of the city’s total travel volume.
Safety data reveal that high-speed arterials (35+ MPH) and commercial intersections are the primary danger zones. Nearly one-third of injury crashes occur in disadvantaged communities, highlighting a significant equity gap in road safety.
