Gonzales is a small, tight-knit city, but its streets still see their share of collisions. In the most recent full year on record, 8 injury collisions were reported within city limits, leaving 8 people hurt. Local roads like Alta Street, 5th Street, Fanoe Road, and the stretch of US-101 that runs through town account for a notable share of reported crashes, and data shows reports tend to cluster on Friday evenings between 6 and 8 p.m., likely tied to end-of-week traffic and commuter volume.
