Is Seaside safe to ride a motorcycle?
This page covers traffic crashes, not crime. We don't rate cities as safe or unsafe: crash counts can't say how risky a street is, and busy streets have more crashes partly because more people use them. What the records show: 28 motorcycle crashes were reported in Seaside from 2021–2026, 4 of them serious or fatal. The most were at San Pablo Ave & Baker St (5). 29% involved no other vehicle, usually running wide or losing grip. 21% involved a car turning left across the rider.

Source: California Crash Reporting System (CCRS), 2021–2026. A report with no coordinates is placed at the intersection its street names give; reports with neither are not counted, so these numbers are lower than the real total. Freeway crashes are included: many motorcycle crashes in cities happen on them. Busy streets show more crashes partly because more people use them. Data last rebuilt 2026-10-07. How the data works.
