The Safety Story: 2015–2019 vs 2021–2025
Equal 5-year periods · 2020 excluded · Stats normalized for fair comparisonCatastrophic Post-COVID KSI Surge
+55.7%
KSI rate surged from 7.69% to 11.97% — a 55.7% increase. One of the highest post-COVID surges in Contra Costa County. Urgent systemic intervention required.
Speed: #1 Cause of Crashes & KSI
7.5% → 9.2%
Unsafe Speed is the #1 PCF in Pleasant Hill with 221 crashes. Speed KSI rate: 7.5% (era A) → 9.2% (era B). Physical calming, feedback signs, and road diet evaluation are the priority responses.
CONTRA COSTA BL: Worsening
12 → 22 KSI
CONTRA COSTA BL is the #1 HIN corridor with 34 total KSI (1 fatal). KSI worsening era A→B — immediate capital intervention warranted.
HIN: Danger Spreading
6 new corridors
6 new corridors emerged in 2021–25 not present in 2015–19. 7 corridors persist across both eras. Systemic citywide programs needed alongside targeted corridors.
Alcohol: Persistent Risk
9.3% → 22.7%
Alcohol KSI rate rose from 9.3% to 22.7%. At 22.7%, alcohol crashes remain 1.7× more deadly than non-alcohol. DUI enforcement must intensify.
Motorcycle Fatality Risk
30.0% → 42.4%
Motorcycle KSI rate: 30.0% → 42.4%. 43 crashes, 17 KSI. Late-night weekend concentration amplifies severity — enforcement targeting these windows is essential.
Dark KSI Surging
10.5% → 16.5%
Dark-condition KSI rate surged: 10.5% → 16.5%. 248 dark crashes, 33 KSI. LED intersection lighting and retroreflective backplates deliver the highest BCR return.
Volume vs Severity
101/yr → 80/yr
Crash volume: 101/yr (era A) → 80/yr (era B). Volume fell but KSI rate surged — severity crisis, not a volume crisis.
Top Intersection: CONTRA COSTA BL & GOLF CLUB RD
2 KSI
CONTRA COSTA BL & GOLF CLUB RD — 2 KSI (0 fatal), 11 crashes. Era A: 0 KSI → Era B: 2 KSI. Targeted intersection capital recommended.

DUI EnforcementDarkness Amplifies Severity
35.3%
Of pedestrian crashes occur in dark. After-dark ped crashes are 2.9× more likely to be fatal/severe than daytime (26.7% vs 9.3% KSI rate).
Street LightingPedestrian KSI Rate Elevated
15.3%
Pedestrian KSI rate: 15.3% across 85 crashes (13 KSI). 35.3% of ped crashes in dark — LED lighting and RRFB crossings are the priority response.
