Clearfield's Most Dangerous Intersections for Pedestrians and Cyclists

Here is how the count works. UDOT's pedestrian and bicycle safety model lists 17 signalized intersections in Clearfield. We took every crash in UDOT's records from January 1, 2018 through August 4, 2025 that involved a pedestrian or a bicyclist and tied it to the closest of those signals, as long as it was no more than 250 feet away, which is the distance the Highway Safety Manual uses to treat a crash as an intersection crash. Crashes UDOT coded Fatal or Suspected Serious Injury are the ones this page calls serious or fatal.

Clearfield's total comes to 74 crashes: 58 involving someone on foot and 16 involving someone on a bike. Fourteen of the 17 signals recorded at least one pedestrian crash. Thirteen pedestrian crashes were serious or fatal, 22.4% of the total, compared with 16.7% across all 1,263 signals in the statewide model. Only one bicycle crash out of 16 was serious or fatal, about 6%, where the statewide share is 8.9%.

One Interchange Signal, Five Serious Pedestrian Crashes

The signal at SR-193 and the northbound I-15 off-ramp and frontage road, part of the Exit 334 interchange, recorded 9 pedestrian crashes. Five of them were serious or fatal. None of the other 1,262 signals in UDOT's model had that many; the next highest anywhere in the state is 4, at one signal in Ogden and one in South Salt Lake. And among the 121 Utah signals with at least 5 pedestrian crashes, no other had a higher share end in death or serious injury than this one's 5 of 9.

That one location also changes how Clearfield's citywide figures read. Set it aside and the other 16 signals account for 49 pedestrian crashes, 8 of them serious or fatal: 16.3%, just under the statewide 16.7%. Clearfield's higher severity rate, in other words, is mostly the story of a single interchange. UDOT's model estimates about 63 people a day on foot there, lists no bus stops nearby, and puts the busier of its two roads at roughly 30,000 vehicles a day. The model does not explain why the crashes there were so severe, and this page does not guess.

Clearfield's Ten Signals With the Most Pedestrian Crashes

Ranked by pedestrian crashes recorded from January 1, 2018 through August 4, 2025. When two signals tie, the one with more bicycle crashes goes first, then the one with more serious or fatal pedestrian crashes. Every signal on the list had at least two pedestrian crashes. Foot-traffic and vehicle figures are UDOT model estimates, not counts.

• Antelope Drive (1700 South, SR-108) & 1000 East — 10 pedestrian crashes (1 serious or fatal) and 2 bicycle crashes (1 serious or fatal). Clearfield's highest pedestrian count; only six signals in the statewide model recorded more. The busier road here carries about 38,500 vehicles a day.
• SR-193 & I-15 northbound off-ramp / frontage road — 9 pedestrian crashes, 5 of them serious or fatal, and 1 bicycle crash. The most serious or fatal pedestrian crashes at any signal in Utah's data, at a crossing UDOT estimates sees about 63 people on foot a day.
• SR-193 (700 South) & State Street (SR-126) — 8 pedestrian crashes, none serious or fatal, and 1 bicycle crash. UDOT's model gives this signal Clearfield's heaviest estimated foot traffic, about 325 people a day, and both roads are busy: about 27,000 vehicles a day on the busier one and 20,000 on the other.
• 300 North (SR-107) & Main Street (SR-126) — 6 pedestrian crashes, 2 of them serious or fatal, and 1 bicycle crash. Only the interchange signal had more serious or fatal pedestrian crashes in Clearfield.
• Antelope Drive (1700 South, SR-108) & Main Street — 5 pedestrian crashes (1 serious or fatal) and no bicycle crashes. UDOT's model counts two schools near this intersection, and the busier road carries about 36,000 vehicles a day.
• 650 North (SR-103) & Main Street (SR-126) — 4 pedestrian crashes (1 serious or fatal) and 3 bicycle crashes. It is the only Clearfield signal that UDOT's model flags as unlit.
• State Street (SR-126) & 1000 East — 4 pedestrian crashes (1 serious or fatal) and no bicycle crashes. The model lists three bus stops nearby, more than at any other Clearfield signal.
• 200 South & State Street (SR-126) — 3 pedestrian crashes, 1 serious or fatal, with no bicycle crashes. Estimated foot traffic is about 48 people a day.
• SR-193 & 1000 East — 2 pedestrian crashes and 5 bicycle crashes, none serious or fatal. No Clearfield signal recorded more bicycle crashes. One school is nearby.
• Center Street & Main Street / State Street (SR-126) — 2 pedestrian crashes and 1 bicycle crash, none serious or fatal. It edges out 300 North & 1000 West, which also had 2 pedestrian crashes (1 serious or fatal) but no bicycle crash.

The list runs from 10 down to 2, and these ten signals hold 53 of Clearfield's 58 pedestrian crashes and 12 of its 13 serious or fatal ones. All ten are four-leg intersections. Several places on it are separated by a single crash, so the order shows where crashes were recorded rather than a precise ranking of risk.

Bicycle Crashes in Clearfield

Clearfield's 16 bicycle crashes turned up at 9 of its 17 signals. SR-193 at 1000 East leads with 5, 650 North at Main Street has 3, and Antelope Drive at 1000 East has 2, including the city's only serious or fatal bicycle crash. The remaining six were one apiece at six other signals. 1000 East is the common thread: its two signals at SR-193 and Antelope Drive account for 7 of the 16.

Foot Traffic, Vehicle Volume and Lighting

For each signal, UDOT's model also estimates daily pedestrians, bicyclists and vehicles, and records nearby schools, bus stops and whether the intersection is lit. Those are measures of exposure. The model's predicted crash figures were produced separately, with no stated period, so they are left out of the comparisons on this page.

In Clearfield the estimates line up only loosely with the crash record. The heaviest estimated foot traffic is at SR-193 and State Street, about 325 people a day, followed by State Street and 1000 East (192), 650 North and Main Street (184) and Antelope Drive and Main Street (178). The two signals with the most pedestrian crashes sit lower: Antelope Drive and 1000 East at about 98 people a day, and the interchange signal at about 63. Two of the 17 are pedestrian beacons, labeled HAWK in UDOT's data, one on Main Street at 1000 South and one on 1000 East labeled for Clearfield High School. The model records no pedestrian volume at either, and neither recorded a crash.

Clearfield’s Morning Commute Pattern

Clearfield stands out for when its pedestrian crashes happen. Seventeen of the 58 came between 6 and 9 a.m., 29 percent, the highest morning share among the 20 Utah cities with at least 20 pedestrian crashes at their signals; statewide that window holds about 16 percent. Four of Clearfield’s 13 serious or fatal pedestrian crashes happened in those hours. Thursday was the worst day, with 16, and no pedestrian crash at a Clearfield signal was recorded on a Sunday.

Darkness made outcomes worse. Of the 18 pedestrian crashes in the dark, 6 were serious or fatal; of the 37 in daylight, 7 were. The bicycle crashes followed the morning pattern as well, with 6 of the 16 between 6 and 9 a.m.

Few Hit-and-Runs, More Older Drivers

Only 4 of Clearfield’s 58 pedestrian crashes were flagged as hit and run, about 7 percent, compared with 17.6 percent statewide. An older driver was involved in 8, 2 of them serious or fatal. Two reports noted a driver who disregarded a traffic signal or sign, and one of those crashes was serious or fatal.

A driver who stays at the scene may still carry too little insurance for a serious injury. Under Utah Code § 31A-22-305, a vehicle insured below Utah’s minimum liability limits is treated as uninsured to the extent of the shortfall, and a person hurt as a pedestrian by an uninsured vehicle may also recover under one other policy that lists them as a covered person.

Every Pedestrian Crash on a 40-mph-Plus Road

Each of Clearfield’s 58 pedestrian crashes happened at a signal where the faster road is posted at least 40 mph: 29 at signals posted 40 and 29 at signals posted 45 or more. The interchange signal at SR-193 and the northbound I-15 off-ramp, with its 5 serious or fatal pedestrian crashes, sits on a stretch of SR-193 posted 50, and UDOT’s state-route sidewalk inventory lists a missing or broken section of sidewalk within about 500 feet of it. Antelope Drive at 1000 East, the top crash site, is posted 40 on Antelope Drive and 25 on 1000 East.

A higher limit alone does not predict how badly someone is hurt. Statewide, 19.0 percent of pedestrian crashes at signals where neither road exceeds 30 mph were serious or fatal, about the same as the 19.2 percent at signals posted 45 or more. What a limit does set is the speed a driver is allowed to carry through the crossing. These limits are today’s postings from UDOT and UGRC, not the speed of any vehicle in a recorded crash.

Limits of a Signal-Based Count

Only crashes within 250 feet of one of the 17 modeled signals are here. A pedestrian struck along a frontage road, in a parking lot near the FrontRunner station or mid-block on Main Street would not appear. Each crash is assigned to one signal only, and the figures count crashes, not people, so a crash that injured two pedestrians counts once. Thirteen of the 17 signals recorded five or fewer pedestrian crashes in more than seven years, too few to separate a flawed design from bad luck at any one corner. A crash count also says nothing about fault.

After a Crash at a Clearfield Signal

A signal's crash history can matter in a claim. Repeated crashes at one crossing bear on whether a hazard was known, and where a road agency designed or maintains the crossing, they can bear on that agency's share of responsibility as well as the driver's. Signal timing plans, crosswalk and lighting records, and ramp design files are kept by UDOT or the city and can be requested, and a claim against a government entity carries its own notice deadline. Our Clearfield car accident page covers local crash claims, the statewide guides to pedestrian claims and bicycle claims explain how those cases work, and separate guides cover how fault is proven, filing a PIP claim and the deadline to sue. All crash types, street by street, are on our Clearfield’s most dangerous roads page.

What Can Be Recovered

• Economic losses: hospital and surgical bills, rehabilitation, lost wages, and the earnings an injury takes away in the years ahead.
• Non-economic losses: physical pain and the loss of ordinary activities, including the confidence to cross a busy road on foot or by bike.
• Future needs: later surgeries, long-term therapy, mobility equipment and help at home when recovery is incomplete.

Sources and Method

Pedestrian and bicycle crash counts come from UDOT's crash records, January 1, 2018 to August 4, 2025, with each crash assigned to the closest signal within 250 feet, the Highway Safety Manual's intersection distance. Serious or fatal means UDOT coded the crash Fatal or Suspected Serious Injury. The list of signals and the estimates of pedestrians, bicyclists, vehicles, schools, bus stops and lighting come from UDOT's signalized-intersection pedestrian and bicycle safety model. Statewide comparisons apply the same matching to all 1,263 signals in that model. Hours, weekdays, light conditions and the officers’ 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, and the sidewalk note from UDOT’s state-route sidewalk inventory. Every city we have counted this way is listed on our statewide page, Utah’s most dangerous intersections.
