Oakland continues to battle high rates of traffic violence, with local data indicating that severe and fatal crashes remain “unacceptably and persistently high.” According to the city’s Safe Oakland Streets (SOS) initiative, nearly 70% of fatal collisions occur on the High Injury Network, which comprises just 6% of Oakland’s streets. Preliminary 2025 reports highlight that fatalities are disproportionately concentrated in Priority Equity communities, with pedestrians and cyclists accounting for over half of all traffic-related deaths. Primary crash factors include unsafe speed, failure to yield, and DUI, mirroring a broader statewide trend where alcohol-involved fatalities have increased 55% over the last decade.
