Is Inglewood 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 Century Blvd & Inglewood Ave (10). 40% involved a driver turning, 26% turning left. 49% of the people hit were in a crosswalk at an intersection.
