Logan's Most Dangerous Intersections for Pedestrians and Cyclists

Method in brief. UDOT's pedestrian and bicycle safety model lists 37 signalized intersections in Logan. For each crash in UDOT's records from January 1, 2018 through August 4, 2025 that involved someone walking or biking, we found the closest of those signals and kept the crash if it fell within 250 feet, the Highway Safety Manual's definition of an intersection crash. Crashes coded Fatal or Suspected Serious Injury are reported here as serious or fatal.

That method yields 107 crashes. Six of the 57 pedestrian crashes were serious or fatal, 10.5%; seven of the 50 bicycle crashes were, 14.0%. Bicycle crashes turned up at 21 of the 37 signals and pedestrian crashes at 20, and ten signals recorded neither.

A City Where Riders Fare Worse

Across all 1,263 signals in UDOT's model, the pattern runs the other way: 16.7% of pedestrian crashes and 8.9% of bicycle crashes were serious or fatal. In Logan the bicycle share is higher than the pedestrian share, and about five points above the statewide bicycle figure. The numbers are small, so that comparison is fragile; a single crash moves either Logan percentage by about two points.

Where the bicycle crashes happened is not spread evenly. Thirty-six of the 50 were at signals on Main Street, which carries US-91 and, for part of its length, US-89 as well. So were 5 of the 7 serious or fatal bicycle crashes. Pedestrian crashes lean the same way but less heavily, 32 of 57. 1400 North at Main had two serious or fatal bicycle crashes, the only Logan signal with more than one.

Logan Signals Ranked by Pedestrian Crashes

Ranking rule: most recorded pedestrian crashes first. A tie is broken by bicycle crashes, then by serious or fatal pedestrian crashes, then by UDOT's estimate of daily foot traffic. Only crashes from January 2018 through August 4, 2025 are counted; the daily foot, bike and vehicle figures are modeled, not observed.

• 1000 North & Main Street (US-91): 8 crashes with pedestrians, none of them serious or fatal, and 4 with bicyclists, one of them serious or fatal. Estimated volume on the busier road is about 36,000 vehicles a day.
• 400 North (US-89) & Main Street (US-89/US-91): 7 with pedestrians (1 serious or fatal) and 9 with bicyclists. Only two signals in UDOT's statewide model recorded more bicycle crashes. Estimated traffic on the busier road, about 39,500 vehicles a day, is the highest in Logan's top ten.
• 1400 North & Main Street (US-91): 5 with pedestrians (1 serious or fatal) and 7 with bicyclists, 2 of those serious or fatal. Only five signals statewide recorded more bicycle crashes.
• 1000 North & 800 East: 4 with pedestrians (1 serious or fatal) and 1 with a bicyclist. UDOT's model estimates about 1,001 people walk through daily and lists four bus stops nearby.
• 400 North (US-89) & 100 East: 4 with pedestrians, none serious or fatal, and no bicycle crashes. Estimated foot traffic is about 367 a day.
• 1400 North & 200 East: 4 with pedestrians, none serious or fatal, and no bicycle crashes. It matches the signal above on every crash count and ranks lower on estimated foot traffic, about 288 a day. Two bus stops are nearby.
• 200 North (SR-30) & Main Street (US-89/US-91): 3 with pedestrians and 4 with bicyclists, one of each serious or fatal.
• 300 South & Main Street (US-89/US-91): 3 with pedestrians and 3 with bicyclists, none serious or fatal. Main Street carries an estimated 39,000 vehicles a day here.
• 400 North & 100 West: 3 with pedestrians (1 serious or fatal) and 1 with a bicyclist. It is the only Logan signal UDOT's model flags as unlit.
• Center Street & Main Street (US-89/US-91): 3 with pedestrians and 1 with a bicyclist, none serious or fatal. Estimated foot traffic, about 425 a day, is the highest of any Main Street signal.

Seven of the ten involve a numbered route (US-89, US-91 or SR-30); the exceptions are 1000 North at 800 East, 1400 North at 200 East and 400 North at 100 West. Together the ten account for 44 of Logan's 57 pedestrian crashes and 5 of its 6 serious or fatal ones, which leaves just 13 pedestrian crashes for the other 27 signals. All ten have four legs.

Where Bicycles Were Hit

400 North at Main Street had the most bicycle crashes, 9, followed by 1400 North at Main with 7 and two signals with 4: 1000 North at Main and 200 North at Main. Twelve of Logan's signals recorded more bicycle crashes than pedestrian crashes, among them 500 North at Main Street, with 3 bicycle crashes and no pedestrian crashes. The 7 serious or fatal bicycle crashes occurred at six signals, four of them on Main Street; the other two were 200 North at 600 West and 1000 North at 200 East.

What the Model's Estimates Show

For each signal, UDOT's safety model estimates daily foot and bicycle traffic, vehicle volumes on both roads, nearby schools and bus stops, and lighting. Those estimates describe how many people are exposed, not how many were hurt. The model also produces predicted crash figures, but they were generated separately, are not tied to the January 2018 to August 2025 window, and are not set against the counts here.

Logan's highest foot-traffic estimates are along 700 North. At 800 East, on the Utah State University campus, UDOT's model estimates about 4,446 people a day; at 1200 East, about 1,822. Each recorded 2 pedestrian crashes. Main Street looks very different. Its signals are estimated at 1 to 4 riders a day, yet they account for most of the city's bicycle crashes, while the three 1000 West (SR-252) signals with the city's highest rider estimates, about 8 a day each, recorded none. Estimates of this kind are rough, and the gap is a starting point for questions about a particular crash rather than an explanation.

Weekday Daylight Crashes, and a Recent Jump

Logan’s pedestrian crashes are mostly a weekday, daylight problem. Thirty-nine of the 57 happened in daylight, and 36 fell on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday; the weekend accounted for 6. The busiest stretch of the day was 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., with 20. The 17 pedestrian crashes in the dark included 1 that was serious or fatal.

The trend matters more than the timing. Logan’s signals logged 2 to 8 pedestrian crashes a year from 2018 through 2022, then 15 in 2023 and 13 in 2024. Bicycle crashes held steady over the same span, at 5 to 8 a year.

Young Drivers, Older Drivers and Transit

Drivers at both ends of the age range appear often in Logan’s reports. A teen driver was involved in 8 pedestrian crashes and 7 bicycle crashes; an older driver in 4 pedestrian crashes and 7 bicycle crashes, 2 of those bicycle crashes serious or fatal. Two pedestrian crashes involved a transit vehicle, one of them serious or fatal. Eight pedestrian crashes and 3 bicycle crashes were flagged as hit and run.

A crash with a bus or another public vehicle comes with its own deadline. If the vehicle belonged to a government entity, such as a public transit district, Utah Code § 63G-7-402 bars the claim unless a written notice of claim is filed within one year after the claim arises.

Low Limits on Logan’s List

The posted limits on Logan’s list are low by Utah standards. Main Street is posted 35 at 1000 North, 200 North, 300 South and Center Street, four of the top ten. Three more, 1000 North at 800 East, 1400 North at 200 East and 400 North at 100 West, are posted 25 on both streets, and together they logged 11 pedestrian crashes, 2 of them serious or fatal.

Across the city, the 14 signals where neither road is posted above 30 mph account for 18 pedestrian crashes and 13 bicycle crashes, so a slower street is no guarantee of a safe crossing. These limits are current postings from UDOT and UGRC, not the speed of any vehicle in a recorded crash.

Gaps in the Picture

Only crashes within 250 feet of a modeled signal are included, so a cyclist hit on an unsignalized stretch of Main Street or a pedestrian struck at a crosswalk without a signal would not appear. Each crash counts once, at its closest signal. The unit is the crash, not the person, and one crash may injure several people. With totals near 50, every Logan crash moves a percentage by about two points. Nor do these figures assign fault.

Using a Crossing's History in a Claim

Earlier crashes at the same signal can be relevant evidence. They bear on whether a risk was foreseeable, and they can justify requesting signal timing plans, crosswalk and lighting records from the city or UDOT. Our Logan car accident page covers local claims, and two articles focus on pedestrian accident claims in Utah and bicycle accident claims in Utah. Our statewide guides explain proving fault, filing a PIP claim and the time limit for a lawsuit. All crash types, street by street, are on our Logan’s most dangerous roads page.

Damages in a Pedestrian or Bicycle Case

• Economic losses: medical treatment from the scene onward, prescriptions and rehab, lost wages, and earnings you can no longer make.
• Non-economic losses: pain, anxiety, and lost enjoyment of everyday life, including the walks and rides you used to take.
• Future care: treatment still to come, ongoing therapy, adaptive equipment, and household help if the injury is permanent.

Sources and Method

Logan figures were compiled from UDOT's crash records for January 1, 2018 through August 4, 2025. Only crashes involving a pedestrian or bicyclist were used, and each was tied to the nearest modeled signal no more than 250 feet away, following the Highway Safety Manual. Severity labels follow UDOT's codes, with Fatal and Suspected Serious Injury grouped as serious or fatal. The list of signals and the walker, rider, vehicle, school, bus-stop and lighting estimates are from UDOT's signalized-intersection pedestrian and bicycle safety model, and statewide percentages apply the identical method to its 1,263 signals. Light, weekday, hour and yearly figures and the driver flags come from the same UDOT crash records; posted limits come from UDOT’s 2026 state-route speed layer and UGRC’s Utah Roads data. Every city we have counted this way is listed on our statewide page, Utah’s most dangerous intersections.
