Driving is essential for most of us every day, but it can also be dangerous. The most recent available data, from 2008, shows there were just over 14-hundred traffic collisions in San Marcos, eight resulting in fatalities. Several intersections and roads are difficult to navigate for some drivers. Driving hazards include confusing road signs, five-way stops and construction. Another common hazard is that many drivers don't take the time to fully stop before entering intersections. On a section of North Street, the road is narrow and there are no sidewalks for pedestrians, which results in them walking in the road and creating yet another hazard.
