What Else Makes Oceanside’s Roads Risky?
Tourism + Freeway Congestion
Oceanside’s location on the I-5 corridor and proximity to Camp Pendleton means a daily mix of local, military, and tourist traffic. Peak congestion occurs during weekends, holidays, and summer beach season when visitors flood Pacific Coast Highway and Oceanside Blvd.
Evening & Weekend Spikes
Heavy traffic buildup on Friday afternoons and Sunday evenings results in higher accident rates, especially on Mission Avenue and Coast Highway.
Pedestrian & Cyclist Risks
Popular walking and biking routes near the Strand, Oceanside Pier, and South Coast Highway contribute to increased incidents involving cyclists and pedestrians—particularly in areas without dedicated lanes.
Nightlife & DUI Incidents
The downtown bar district and beach festivals contribute to DUI-related crashes, especially late at night and during special events like Harbor Days.
