Bicyclists are most likely to be involved in a vehicle collision while crossing at an intersection

According to Maryland Department of Transportation bicyclist crash data collected from 2016 to 2020, bicyclists are most likely to be hit while crossing at an intersection, whereas they are less likely to be hit off the main road, like when cycling on the sidewalk.

2020 is subject to change. Data are based on reports provided by the Maryland State Police Central Records Division (CRD). 2020 crash reports submitted to CRD during calendar year 2021 (up to Dec, 31, 2021) will be accepted in the database; however, based on an analysis of previous reporting years, nearly all crash reports completed by local agencies have been submitted and processed by this time of year. Revised summary reports may be produced after an analysis is completed on crash reports submitted, or revised, between the run date of this report and Dec. 31, 2021.
