Where they cluster
All 10 spots, explainedIs Fairfield safe to walk?
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 Grande Cir & East Tabor Ave (3). 35% involved a driver turning, 16% turning left. 36% of the people hit were in a crosswalk at an intersection.
