Huntington Beach — known as Surf City USA — draws millions of visitors each year to its 10 miles of coastline. But behind the beach-town charm, Huntington Beach has serious traffic problems. Pacific Coast Highway, Beach Boulevard, and the I-405 all run through the city, creating dangerous conditions for drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists.

Huntington Beach’s Most Dangerous Roads

• Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) — the iconic coastal highway through Huntington Beach is one of the most dangerous roads in Orange County. High speeds, pedestrian crossings, cyclists, and distracted driving create a constant collision risk. The stretch between Warner Avenue and Brookhurst is particularly deadly.
• Beach Boulevard (SR-39) — the main north-south corridor through HB carries massive traffic volumes. Wide lanes tempt speeding, and the road has minimal pedestrian infrastructure despite heavy foot traffic near shopping centers.
• I-405 through Huntington Beach — heavy commuter and commercial truck traffic on this stretch, combined with the Bolsa Chica and Goldenwest interchanges, produces daily collisions
• Warner Avenue — a busy east-west road connecting residential neighborhoods to PCH, with frequent intersection crashes
• Brookhurst Street — high-speed traffic through commercial and residential areas with limited visibility at several intersections
• Main Street near the pier — tourist traffic, pedestrians, cyclists, and parallel parkers create a chaotic driving environment, especially during summer months and events like the US Open of Surfing

Car Accident Cases We Handle in Huntington Beach

• PCH collisions — high-speed crashes, head-on collisions, and pedestrian strikes along Pacific Coast Highway
• Beach Boulevard accidents — T-bone crashes, red-light violations, and speeding-related collisions
• I-405 freeway accidents — rear-end collisions, commercial truck crashes, and multi-vehicle pileups
• Bicycle accidents — Huntington Beach’s extensive cycling community faces daily risks from inattentive drivers, dooring, and unsafe lane changes
• Pedestrian accidents — especially near the beach, pier, and along PCH crosswalks
• Motorcycle accidents — PCH is a popular riding route, but its high speeds and distracted tourists make it treacherous for motorcyclists
• Tourist and event-related accidents — major events like the US Open of Surfing, Fourth of July celebrations, and summer beach traffic create spikes in collision rates

Frequently Asked Questions — Huntington Beach Car Accidents

I was hit by a tourist driving on PCH in Huntington Beach. What do I do?

Out-of-state and out-of-area drivers are a common factor in Huntington Beach accidents, especially along PCH. You can still file a claim against their insurance regardless of where they are from. If they were driving a rental car, the rental company’s insurance may also be a source of compensation. Sky Law Group handles all the insurance coordination for you.

I was injured in a bicycle accident on PCH. Do I have a case?

Yes. Cyclists have the same rights as motorists on California roads. If a driver’s negligence — distracted driving, failure to check before turning, dooring, or unsafe passing — caused your accident, you have the right to seek compensation for your injuries, medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Can I file a claim if I was hit while crossing PCH to get to the beach?

Yes. Drivers are legally required to yield to pedestrians in marked crosswalks under California Vehicle Code Section 21950. Even if you were not in a crosswalk, you may still have a valid claim under comparative negligence. PCH pedestrian accidents often result in severe injuries due to the high speed of traffic.

What if my Huntington Beach car accident was caused by a road hazard?

If your accident was caused by a road defect — such as a pothole, missing signage, faded lane markings, or a malfunctioning traffic signal — you may have a claim against the City of Huntington Beach or Caltrans. Government claims have a strict 6-month filing deadline, so contact an attorney immediately.
