Redlands is one of the oldest cities in the Inland Empire, built during the citrus boom of the late 1800s and still carrying that history in its architecture and street layout. Downtown Redlands and the area around the University of Redlands are genuinely walkable — narrow, tree-lined blocks, angled parking, students on foot and on bikes — which is part of the city's appeal and also a reason its injury cases look different from the newer, car-oriented cities nearby. The city sits near I-10 and SR-210, which carry most of the through-traffic that never actually reaches downtown.
Redlands — court, hospital & distances
A historic downtown built before cars — and what that means now
Redlands' oldest streets were laid out for foot and streetcar traffic long before anyone anticipated modern car volume, and downtown's compact grid, angled parking, and mid-block crosswalks are a common setting for pedestrian and bicycle collisions — a driver backing out of an angled space without checking, or a car turning through an intersection while focused on other traffic and missing someone in the crosswalk. Near the University of Redlands, foot and bicycle traffic spikes sharply during the school year, and evening and weekend events downtown add pedestrians unfamiliar with exactly where drivers expect to see them. These cases often turn on witness accounts and nearby business camera footage rather than skid marks and vehicle damage, since a pedestrian or cyclist crash frequently leaves little physical evidence at the scene itself.
