Coronado’s roads saw a slightly busier — and slightly riskier — year in 2023, although total collisions remain among the lowest the city has seen in more than four decades of data.

The increase in traffic reflects a gradual return to pre-COVID levels, although traffic trends have not yet increased to pre-pandemic rates, according to the city’s annual traffic report, which the City Council is expected to accept during a Sept. 16 meeting.

The city tracks traffic patterns in an annual report to aid in urban planning.

According to the report, a daily average of 85,946 vehicles entered or left Coronado in 2023, up from 85,364 in 2022. While this is the 30th-highest count since the city began tracking traffic volume in 1977, it is well below the city’s 2016 record of more than 102,000.
