Is Moreno Valley safe to ride a motorcycle?
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 SR-60 & Day St (15). 26% involved no other vehicle, usually running wide or losing grip. 13% involved a car turning left across the rider.
