The Most Dangerous San Bernardino County Routes

Like many areas of California, San Bernardino County has its share of dangerous routes for truckers, passenger vehicles, motorcyclists, and pedestrians. Some of these hazardous areas include:

• Interstate 15 (I-15) – Within San Bernardino County, it includes the Cajon Pass, known for steep grades and sharp curves. In 2022, I-15 through San Bernardino County was identified as the deadliest road in California, with 48 reported fatalities [3].
  
• State Route 138 (SR-138) The highway is notorious for its narrow lanes and significant twists and turns, especially east of the San Bernardino County line. These features have historically led to a high number of fatal accidents, earning it the nickname “Blood Alley” [4].
  
• Interstate 10 (I-10) The highway frequently experiences poor road conditions and heavy congestion with both truck and passenger vehicle traffic. Drivers often merge at high speeds into stopped or slow-moving traffic, leading to collisions [5].
  
• Cajon Pass (I-15 between Exit 138 and Exit 129) – This mountain pass is notorious for high winds, fog, and turbulence. It has been the site of numerous fatal collisions, making it one of California’s deadliest roadways [6].
  
• State Route 62 (SR-62) – Twentynine Palms Highway – a 151-mile road running through the Mojave Desert from the Coachella Valley to the Arizona border. The lack of medians separating oncoming lanes contributes to the high number of head-on collisions [7].
