Is Selma 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 Highland Ave & Floral Ave (4). 12% involved no other vehicle, usually running wide or losing grip. 18% involved a car turning left across the rider.

Source: California Crash Reporting System (CCRS), 2021–2026.

Freeway crashes are included: many motorcycle crashes in cities happen on them. Busy streets show more crashes partly because more people use them. Data last rebuilt 2026-10-07. How the data works.
