Car Accidents in Utah
Utah continues to experience a high number of vehicle crashes each year. In 2023, data from the Utah Department of Public Safety revealed more than 61,000 total accidents across the state. Of those, over 17,000 led to injuries. These numbers highlight how frequent and dangerous roadway collisions remain throughout the state.
Many factors can contribute to injury crashes. One common area of concern is road design. Here are several ways roadway design can influence accidents:
- Poor Lighting: Inadequate or outdated street lighting can make it harder for drivers to see pedestrians, obstacles, or other vehicles, especially at night or during inclement weather.
- Sharp Curves and Blind Intersections: Roads that lack proper signage or visibility can cause drivers to misjudge distances or fail to see other vehicles until it’s too late.
- Insufficient Shoulder or Lane Width: Narrow shoulders and tight lanes increase the risk of sideswipe collisions and leave little room for emergency maneuvers.
- Missing or Faded Road Markings: When lanes or crosswalks aren’t clearly marked, driver confusion increases, especially in unfamiliar areas or high-traffic zones.
- Lack of Traffic Calming Features: Speed bumps, roundabouts, and raised pedestrian crossings can significantly reduce speeding and improve safety in high-risk areas. When these features are absent, drivers are more likely to travel at unsafe speeds.
