Groups overlap. A collision between a passenger vehicle and a bicyclist appears in both groups. Small electric mobility includes electric bicycles, electric scooters, motorboards, and motorized bicycles; motorcycles remain separate.

How to read these results

Road names come from the officer's report and are normalized into pairs. A road-pair total does not mean every crash happened inside one physical intersection. Open a row to see its mapped records and positions.
