Truck routes and road damage

Hemet's 271 miles of roads score a 63 out of 100 — below the national average — with over 20% in the worst condition category. Keeping roads from getting worse would cost about $13 million a year; the city budgets $5 million. Commissioners flagged this as a case for directing Measure Q funds toward streets.

Citywide roadway safety action plan

Hemet logged nearly 2,000 injury crashes in five years, and pedestrians fare worst — a quarter of pedestrian crashes are fatal or severe. Just 13% of streets account for 80% of serious injuries, and the plan aims to fix those first using federal grant money.
