Is Central Hollywood safe to ride a bike?

This page covers traffic crashes, not crime. We don't rate neighborhoods 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 Highland Ave & Leland Way (4). 28% were side-impact crashes at junctions (drivers pulling out or turning across). 20% were sideswipes (close passes, right hooks, car doors).

Central Hollywood here is the CENTRAL HOLLYWOOD Neighborhood Council area, as the City of Los Angeles draws it; its edges may differ from where residents put the neighborhood.

A crash counts toward the neighborhood whose outline holds its point. 25 of the 25 crashes here had no coordinates on the report and were placed at the intersection its street names give. Reports with neither coordinates nor usable street names aren't on the map, so these numbers are lower than the real total. Busy streets show more crashes partly because more people use them.
