Where they cluster
All 10 spots, explainedIs Concord safe to ride a bike?
This page covers traffic crashes, not crime. We don't rate cities as safe or unsafe: crash counts can't say how risky a street is, and busy streets have more crashes partly because more people use them.

The most were at Oak Grove Rd & Monument Blvd (10). 61% were side-impact crashes at junctions (drivers pulling out or turning across). 22% happened after dark.
