Source: California Crash Reporting System (CCRS), 2021–2026. Crashes are counted by the street each police report names first, so a crash at a corner counts toward one of its two streets. Only crashes reported with map coordinates are counted, so these numbers are lower than the real total. Long, busy streets show more crashes partly because more people use them.
