SWITRS collision data — City of Fontana Sierra Ave corridor
Fontana's highest-crash Sierra Ave intersection. Left-turn conflicts, truck blind spots from warehouse traffic, and a short protected-permissive signal phase combine to produce 20+ reported crashes annually. Arrow Blvd carries Class 1 truck routes connecting to I-10.
High-speed T-intersection with poor visibility due to industrial building setbacks at the northeast corner. Right-angle crashes dominate here — frequently involving trucks from the Sierra Ave / Jurupa distribution corridor turning toward I-10.
Four-way signalized intersection in a transitional zone between industrial and residential. Merrill Ave carries school traffic from Summit High and Fontana A+ Academy. Pedestrian crossings are undersigned at this location.
Diagonal intersection with offset sight lines creates confusion for left-turning vehicles. Valley Blvd truck traffic conflicts with Sierra Ave commuter flow. Pavement cracking along the crosswalk zone has caused multiple bicycle falls.
Major arterial crossing at Fontana's northern boundary. High-speed approach from both streets, extended pedestrian crossing distances, and an undersized median refuge island create dangerous gap-acceptance scenarios for pedestrians and cyclists.
Sierra Ave's I-10 on-ramp acceleration zone is too short for trucks exiting industrial parks. Full-lane stops waiting for gap acceptance regularly trigger rear-end crashes from trailing warehouse district vehicles at shift-change hours.
Under Government Code §835, a public entity is liable for a dangerous condition of its property if: (1) the condition created a substantial risk of injury; (2) the entity had actual or constructive notice; and (3) the entity failed to repair within a reasonable time. Signal timing deficiencies, crumbling crosswalks, faded lane markings, and inadequate signage all qualify. Critical deadline: Government tort claims must be filed within 6 months of the crash under Government Code §911.2. Gonzales Law Offices files these claims immediately, before evidence disappears.
