About SafeCycle

Las Vegas bicycle safety data, all in one place.

The Problem

As a cyclist in Las Vegas, I wanted to know which roads were actually dangerous, where construction was affecting routes, and whether bike infrastructure made a real difference to safety outcomes. That information existed, but it was scattered across government data portals, impossible to cross-reference, and never visualized for cyclists.

SafeCycle combines crash records, active construction, and bike infrastructure into a single map and data analysis so Las Vegas cyclists can make more informed decisions about where and how they ride.

Data Sources

All data is sourced from public government open data portals and refreshed weekly.

Dataset	Source	Update frequency
Bicycle crash records	NDOT / LVMPD Open Data	Weekly
Bike lanes & shared paths	RTC Southern Nevada	Weekly
Construction projects	Seeing Orange NV / RTC Southern Nevada	Weekly

Methodology

• Crash data is filtered to bicycle-involved crashes within the Las Vegas metro area
• Infrastructure proximity is calculated by checking whether each crash occurred within 15 meters of a bike lane, enhanced lane, or shared-use path
• Construction projects include active, pending, and soon-to-advertise status from the RTC Regional Project Coordination dataset
• All geographic data uses WGS84 (EPSG:4326); proximity calculations use UTM Zone 11N (EPSG:32611) for accuracy in meters
