| What is this
Indicator? This indicator shows the total
number of bicycle crashes that occurred in the City of
Lima during the study period 2006
- 2010. The City of Lima experienced 91
bicycle crashes, during the study period. When compared to
cities of similar size - 30,000 to 50,000 population
- Lima was surpassed only by the City of Findlay in
Hancock County which experienced 107 such crashes. When a
standard crash rate, i.e. "crashes per 100,000 population", is
applied, the crash rate for the City of
Lima is 234.7 per 100,000 population - compared to
the average Ohio crash rate of 112.8 per 100,000 population for
cities of similar size. |

Why this is important? Numbers
of bicycle crashes are indicators of the safety of county
and township roads, city streets, as well as state
highways. Examining crash contributing
factors allows planners, engineers, law enforcement, as
well as emergency responders to identify problems and work to
reduce the incidence of these events.
