Utah's Most Dangerous Intersections for Pedestrians and Cyclists

One procedure produced every figure here, applied identically from Logan to St. George. UDOT's safety model lists 1,263 signalized intersections across six counties: Salt Lake, Utah, Davis, Weber, Washington and Cache. Each crash in UDOT's records that involved someone on foot or on a bicycle went to the closest of those signals, as long as it lay within 250 feet; the Highway Safety Manual treats that distance as the edge of an intersection. A crash farther than that from every signal is not counted anywhere on this page.

Run that way, the statewide result is 2,105 pedestrian crashes, 352 of them coded Fatal or Suspected Serious Injury (16.7%), and 1,115 bicycle crashes, 99 of them serious or fatal (8.9%). Six crashes involved both a walker and a rider, so the number of separate crashes is 3,214. At 338 signals, 26.8% of the total, no pedestrian or bicycle crash was recorded at all.

A Small Share of Signals Carries the Load

Pedestrian crashes are not spread evenly. 779 of the 1,263 signals recorded at least one, which leaves 484 with none. Sorted from most to fewest, the first 184 signals, 14.6% of the total, account for half of all pedestrian crashes. The 121 signals with five or more pedestrian crashes each hold 804 of the 2,105, or 38.2%, and the ten worst alone hold 137.

By county, Salt Lake has 666 of the signals and 1,224 of the pedestrian crashes, 58.1% of the state total. Utah County follows with 340 pedestrian crashes at 239 signals, then Weber (231 at 127), Davis (173 at 121), Washington (78 at 64) and Cache (59 at 46). Weber County's signals average nearly as many pedestrian crashes as Salt Lake County's, 1.82 per signal against 1.84, and a larger share of Weber's were serious or fatal: 22.9%, the highest of the six counties.

The Ten Signals With the Most Pedestrian Crashes

Ranked by pedestrian crashes recorded from January 2018 through August 4, 2025. Equal counts are ordered by bicycle crashes, then by serious or fatal pedestrian crashes, then by serious or fatal bicycle crashes. Each entry links to the city page that covers it, and walker figures are UDOT model estimates.

• 3500 South & Redwood Road, West Valley City — 23 pedestrian crashes (1 serious or fatal) and 9 bicycle crashes (1 serious or fatal). No signal in the state has more pedestrian crashes, and only two have more bicycle crashes.
• 4100 South & Redwood Road, West Valley City — 19 pedestrian crashes (1 serious or fatal) and 6 bicycle crashes. UDOT lists this signal under both West Valley City and Taylorsville; it is counted once, on the West Valley City page.
• 3300 South & West Temple, South Salt Lake — 15 pedestrian crashes (2 serious or fatal) and 5 bicycle crashes (1 serious or fatal), at a crossing where the model estimates about 857 people on foot a day.
• 28th Street & Washington Boulevard, Ogden — 14 pedestrian crashes, 3 of them serious or fatal, and 1 bicycle crash.
• 12th Street & Washington Boulevard, Ogden — 13 pedestrian crashes (2 serious or fatal) and 6 bicycle crashes.
• 3500 South & 3600 West, West Valley City — 13 pedestrian crashes, none serious or fatal, and 2 bicycle crashes. The model estimates about 1,180 walkers a day here.
• 400 South & 200 West, Salt Lake City — 10 pedestrian crashes (1 serious or fatal) and 3 bicycle crashes (1 serious or fatal).
• 400 South & 200 East, Salt Lake City — 10 pedestrian crashes (1 serious or fatal) and 3 bicycle crashes. Its estimated foot traffic, about 4,868 people a day, is the highest of the ten.
• 3300 South & State Street, South Salt Lake — 10 pedestrian crashes, 4 of them serious or fatal, and 2 bicycle crashes. Only one signal in the state has more serious or fatal pedestrian crashes.
• Antelope Drive & 1000 East, Clearfield — 10 pedestrian crashes (1 serious or fatal) and 2 bicycle crashes (1 serious or fatal). The model estimates about 98 walkers a day, by far the lowest of the ten.

Seven of the ten are in Salt Lake County: three in West Valley City, two in South Salt Lake and two in Salt Lake City. Ogden has two and Clearfield one. Between them they hold 137 pedestrian crashes, 6.5% of the state total, at less than 1% of the signals. Even so, the counts are modest for a span of more than seven and a half years, and tenth place sits one crash ahead of seven signals tied at 9. Severity tells a different story from volume. 285 signals recorded at least one serious or fatal pedestrian crash, and only three recorded four or more: SR-193 at the I-15 northbound off-ramp and frontage road in Clearfield (5 of its 9), 3300 South at State Street in South Salt Lake, and 31st Street at Wall Avenue in Ogden (4 each).

Where Cyclists Are Hit Most

The bicycle leaders are mostly different places. Hill Field Road at Gordon Avenue in Layton tops the state with 11 bicycle crashes but recorded only 1 pedestrian crash. 7800 South at 3200 West in West Jordan follows with 10. Three signals share third place with 9: 3500 South at Redwood Road in West Valley City, 31st Street at Wall Avenue in Ogden, and 400 North at Main Street in Logan. Bicycle crashes reached 607 of the 1,263 signals, and no signal recorded more than 2 that were serious or fatal.

City-by-City Pages

Each city page ranks that city's own signals and explains what its numbers can and cannot show. Together the 28 cities below account for 2,909 of the 3,214 crashes. The figure after each name is its count of separate pedestrian or bicycle crashes. Salt Lake County: Salt Lake City (632), West Valley City (276), South Salt Lake (136), Sandy (123), West Jordan (111), Taylorsville (97), Murray (96), Midvale (89), South Jordan (57), Holladay (36), Draper (22), Herriman (20) and Riverton (18).

Utah County: Provo (194), Orem (151), Springville (34), Lehi (29), American Fork (29), Spanish Fork (26) and Pleasant Grove (18). Weber County: Ogden (246), Roy (37) and South Ogden (18). Davis County: Layton (83), Clearfield (74) and Bountiful (30). Washington County: St. George (120). Cache County: Logan (107). A signal UDOT lists under two cities is counted on only one city's page.

Limits of These Numbers

Several limits apply. A crash more than 250 feet from every modeled signal, whether mid-block, at an unsignalized corner or in a parking lot, is not counted, and no crash is counted at two signals. The figures count crashes rather than people. UDOT's model also gives each signal a predicted crash figure; it was produced separately and covers no stated period, so it is never set against these counts. The model has no pedestrian estimate at all for 224 signals, which still recorded 152 pedestrian crashes, so a missing estimate is not evidence that nobody walks there. And a crash count shows where collisions happened, not who caused them.

After a Crash at a Utah Signal

A crossing's history can matter in an injury claim. Earlier crashes at the same signal bear on whether a hazard was known, and signal timing, crosswalk markings and lighting records can be requested from the city or UDOT; a claim involving a government entity also carries its own notice deadline. The statewide guides explain how fault is proven, how a PIP claim is filed and how long you have to sue, and our articles on pedestrian claims and bicycle claims cover what is different about each. For broader context, our Utah Crash Data Study (PDF) analyzes every reported crash in Salt Lake, Utah, Davis, Weber and Summit counties; its intersection section counts only the 1,209 signals inside 52 cities, so its percentages differ slightly from the statewide figures on this page. For crashes of every type ranked street by street, see Utah’s most dangerous roads. If you were hit on foot anywhere in the state, our Utah pedestrian accident lawyer page explains how these claims work.

Losses a Claim Can Cover

• Medical and financial: emergency treatment, surgery and follow-up care, therapy, wages lost during recovery, and any lasting loss of earning ability.
• Human: pain, the disruption of daily life, and the independence a walker or rider can lose after a serious injury.
• Long-term: future procedures, continuing therapy, equipment and help at home when an injury does not fully resolve.

About the Data

Source: UDOT crash records from January 1, 2018 through August 4, 2025, limited to crashes involving a pedestrian or bicyclist and matched to the nearest signal within 250 feet in UDOT's signalized-intersection pedestrian and bicycle safety model, which covers 1,263 signals in Salt Lake, Utah, Davis, Weber, Washington and Cache counties. Serious or fatal means UDOT coded the crash Fatal or Suspected Serious Injury. Walker, rider and traffic volumes are model estimates. A signal listed under two cities is assigned to the first city UDOT names.
