· source: DataSF — Traffic Crashes Resulting in Injury (SFPD)
Counts are recorded crashes, not risk: without traffic volumes a busy street will always show more crashes, so nothing here ranks places as safe or dangerous. Records are matched by Socrata row id (:id); a record the source edits is revised, never counted twice. How this data is handled.
