We do not make jokes, we simply watch the LA Times, the Orange County Register and CID/HOA board of directors and report the facts!
Dangerous Coto de Caza Roads and Intersections
Dangerous Coto de Caza Intersections As a Function of Demographics
The changing Coto de Caza demographics have had a major
impact on the collision pattern as shown below. Whereas for the period from 2000 through November 2004, 75%
of the collisions in the community involved three
roads, current collision distribution spreads out over
eight.
Similarly, to arrive at the most dangerous intersections in
the community, we took the CHP Collision Listing from
2000 through August 2007 and analyzed a total of 116
collisions. The
reported accidents did not necessarily take place at
the intersection, hence the label “Nearest
Cross Street”
