Manteca Car Accident Lawyer
Located in the San Joaquin Valley, Manteca is about 70 miles east of San Francisco. Its current population estimate is somewhere under 85,000. Maybe 7,000 of the city’s residents work in Manteca, so it’s safe to say that the majority of its working residents are employed in nearby cities like Stockton or Modesto. Both of those cities are reached by traveling less than 30 minutes on CA 99. It’s also safe to say that if you live in Manteca, you’re going to need a car to get around. As the city continues to grow, it continues to spread out, and as more drivers use roadways in and around Manteca, more traffic accidents occur.
Dangerous Areas for Motorists
Aside from the car accidents that occur on CA 99 on just about a daily basis, there are other dangerous roadways in town. The T-intersection at Alameda and Cottage Avenue is hazardous for drivers trying to get on Alameda, especially for those who are trying to make left turns. The diverging diamond intersection at Route 120 and Union Road is also confusing enough, especially for those who’ve never seen such a traffic configuration in the past.
