The City of Encinitas Mobility & Traffic Safety Commission meeting held on August 11, 2025, focused on reviewing traffic safety statistics and enforcement efforts from the previous month. The meeting began with a presentation of collision data for July, revealing a total of 30 reported collisions across the city. Notably, this figure does not include non-collision incidents, such as bicyclists falling without being struck by vehicles, which were also documented but not included in the collision map.

The data indicated a more even distribution of collisions throughout Encinitas compared to previous reports, suggesting that enforcement efforts are being effectively targeted in areas where collisions were previously concentrated. The commission discussed the importance of this spread, as it may indicate a broader range of traffic safety issues that need to be addressed.

The meeting also highlighted the results of a recent traffic blitz conducted on July 30, during which approximately 140 citations were issued in a single day. While the statistics for citations were not fully finalized due to ongoing data entry, the commission emphasized that the focus of enforcement efforts includes speeding, running red lights, stop sign violations, and the use of cell phones while driving.

Additionally, the commission reported 14 DUI arrests in July, although comparisons to previous months were not available due to a transition back to an older report writing system. This change is expected to allow for better comparisons in future reports, starting with data from August.

In conclusion, the meeting underscored the city's commitment to improving traffic safety through targeted enforcement and data analysis. The commission plans to continue monitoring these statistics and will conduct another traffic blitz in the coming month to further enhance safety measures across Encinitas.
