Temple City, California

The three hours with the most crashes start when school lets out.

From January 2015 to June 2026, 201 injury crashes happened on weekdays between 3 and 6 PM, more than in any other three hours of the week. I mapped every crash so families and older neighbors can see where to take extra care.

Fewer crashes doesn't make a street safe. Busy streets have more crashes partly because more people use them, so treat the map as a guide to where to take extra care.

For older adults and caregivers

Older adults hit while walking or biking were more often killed or seriously hurt

The after-school rush isn't the pattern for people 65 and older: only 4 of the 36 with a recorded time were hit while walking or biking on a weekday from 3 to 6 PM. When they were hit, the injuries were more often severe. The numbers are small, so read them as a warning sign rather than a precise rate.

Who I am

Why I made this

My name is Dante Fernandez and I have lived in Temple City my whole life, I study computer science at Cal State LA, and also work for the city's Parks and Recreation department. This is a personal project I have been working on during my own time, not a city project.

I made this for families walking home from school, and for older neighbors and the people who look after them. If you know where crashes keep happening, you can plan around them, and you can ask the city to fix them. Next, I plan to share the analysis with the city to support its street-safety work.

Every injury crash in California goes into a police report and a statewide database. The records are public, but most people will never open the research tool they sit in. I pulled every Temple City record from January 2015 to June 2026, matched each crash to the nearest intersection, and checked my counts against the ones UC Berkeley publishes.

The data

1,057 injury crashes, Jan 2015–Jun 2026

Source: UC Berkeley SafeTREC's Transportation Injury Mapping System (TIMS), built from California's statewide police crash reports. It covers crashes where someone was hurt or killed. 2026 runs through June.

Totals count every person in the victim records. 17 of them are on crash reports with no time or place recorded, so figures about time of day count only people whose crash time is known.

To protect the people involved, the map shows only the month, year and hour of each crash, with no report numbers.

14people killed
77people seriously injured
23.9%of all crashes were on Las Tunas Dr, home to the three intersections with the most crashes in the city.
