This study is part of a broader initiative by Estrategia Misión Cero, encompassing 76 cities across 32 states, identifying five high-risk points in each municipality.
In Ensenada, the most perilous areas include:
– Reforma Street near the General Hospital
– The intersection of Reforma and Calzada Cortez

**Secondary Article: Increasing Traffic Accidents in Mexico**
In recent years, the number of traffic accidents on Mexican roads has been rising steadily. A combination of factors including increased vehicle numbers, deteriorating infrastructure, and inadequate traffic enforcement contribute to this dangerous trend.
According to the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI), there has been a significant surge in road accidents since 2015. Among the most affected states, Baja California and Puebla stand out due to their high accident rates.
Reports suggest that distracted driving, speeding, and driving under the influence are leading causes of these accidents. Nationwide initiatives to improve road safety are underway, focusing on stricter traffic laws, better road maintenance, and public awareness campaigns.
