(Wisconsin Radio Network) There’s a new online tool aimed at improving road safety across Wisconsin communities.

According to the Wisconsin Radio Network, the “Community Maps” platform from UW–Madison tracks all police-reported crashes statewide, with data going back more than two decades.

Associate Director Andi Bill says the goal is to give everyone, from local officials to everyday residents, easy access to safety data for streets, intersections, and neighborhoods.

The maps are updated nightly and can help identify dangerous areas and guide improvements. You can explore the resource online at the UW Traffic Operations and Safety Lab website.
