What are metro Detroit’s safest (and most dangerous) communities for peds, cyclists, and drivers?
A new interactive map lets you view where traffic-related fatalities occurred in your community over the course of a decade.
Between 2004 and 2013, 373,377 traffic-related fatalities occurred in the U.S. The data visualization blog Metrocosm recently published an interactive map that plots every single one of those deaths, showing the type of fatality (pedestrian, cyclist, or motorist) and the factors leading to each accident (distracted driving, alcohol, and speeding).
While the map does not break down data by municipality or jurisdiction, it does allow users to search by community. To see where traffic-related fatalities occurred in your neighborhood, type your address into the map’s search bar.
