Crashed TailightOver the past several years, the city of Scottsdale has experienced a continued increase in the number and severity of automobile crashes at major intersections, growing incidents of excessive speeds on major streets and negative impacts to neighborhoods from careless driving throughout the city. Safety on the streets and in Scottsdale neighborhoods are a crucial element in maintaining quality of life for its residents.




Here are the facts:

  • 15 intersection-related deaths in the last 24 months
  • Approximately 37 car-bicycle crashes in Scottsdale each year
  • 73 pedestrian-car crashes in the last 18 months

Scottsdale’s Focus on Safety campaign centers on all components of safety on the streets of Scottsdale whether you’re driving a car or motorcycle, riding a bicycle or walking.

All travelers must be aware of their surroundings, obey traffic laws and be visible to every other type of user on the road. It’s everyone’s responsibility to know the rules of the road.
