Top 10 Most Dangerous Intersections for Cyclists in Bloomington, Indiana
Visualization of 2003-2022 cyclist-involved crash data. Hexes count number of crashes at those locations while triangles are crash locations.
Big surprise here is 11th and Fee, the #2 spot. 10 of 13 of those have a primary factor of “failure to yield” or “improper turning”. My guess is drivers turning onto Fee from garage on 11th, pulling in front of cyclists traveling fast southbound on Fee.
@samth @bloomington_in When pedestrians may be at fault in crash data, there’s often a “primary factor” given as “pedestrian action”. The same does not seem to be true in cyclist-involved crashes.
I took at look at all the primary factors for the 24 cyclist-involved crashes at this intersection, and they are mostly “failure to yield” and “disregard sign”. But the data I have doesn’t indicate whether it was a cyclist or a driver that failed to yield.
@markstos @samth @bloomington_in I travel 11th & Fee a lot. Tons of pedestrians, people pulling in and out of the garage and the business school, and you’re at top speed when you get there southbound. I’m not too surprised.
