Where they cluster
All 9 spots, explainedIs Dublin 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 Amador Valley Blvd & Emerald Ave (5). 67% were side-impact crashes at junctions (drivers pulling out or turning across). 14% were sideswipes (close passes, right hooks, car doors).
