Huntington Beach, famous for its beaches and tourism, sees frequent accidents on its major roadways like Pacific Coast Highway. The mix of locals, commuters, and tourists contributes to congestion and collisions.
Huntington Beach is a seaside city in Orange County named after Henry E. Huntington. With its population of 200,809, it is a mid-sized city known for its 9.5-mile beach popular amongst surfers. Because of a unique confluence of weather patterns like the Southern Hemisphere storms and hurricanes in the summer, it has yearlong surf. Dubbed the “Surf City” by its fans, Huntington Beach was not always as popular as it is today. Before being incorporated in 1909, Huntington Beach was occupied by the Tongva people until the land it now sits on was bought by the Spanish. Since then, it has seen an exponential growth in population and corporate sponsorship, making it a truly Southern Californian city. The fourth largest city in Orange County and the 22nd largest city in California, Huntington Beach is certainly on the map.
