Where they cluster
All 10 spots, explainedIs Vallejo 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. What the records show: 212 pedestrian crashes were reported in Vallejo from 2021–2026, 75 of them serious or fatal (30 fatal). The most were at Sonoma Blvd & Lewis Brown Dr (7). 29% involved a driver turning, 18% turning left. 35% of the people hit were in a crosswalk at an intersection.
