An average spread evenly over the day (FARS), not a count of today.
Who died
Deaths within 30 days of a crash on a public road, 2021–2024 (NHTSA FARS). Counts, not risk per trip: far fewer people walk, ride or cycle than drive.
Most everyday trips are short. See the grocery stores, schools, parks and stations within a 10, 15 and 20 minute walk or bike ride of your home, and what each trip costs by car.

Every city page ranks the spots where crashes keep happening and says what usually goes wrong at each one. Numbers are reported crashes, 2021–2026.
Safe Streets Map is built by Nando, a software developer who grew up in Los Angeles and has been riding there for decades, on a Ritchey Swiss Cross bike and a Honda CB500F motorcycle.
Crashes come from the state's crash records, roads from OpenStreetMap and forecasts from the National Weather Service. Many city police reports have no location, so some cities are undercounted, and the site says so wherever it matters.
