SafeCrossing is a civic app that invites you to help improve street safety in cities around the world — one pedestrian crossing at a time.
Using aerial imagery, SafeCrossing shows you real intersections and asks a simple question: Is this crossing safe for people on foot?
Your answers contribute to a growing dataset that supports local governments, NGOs, and advocacy groups working for safer, more walkable communities.
No expertise is required. If you can spot a sidewalk and a street, you’re ready to help.
⸻
🚶 How it Works:
• View real pedestrian crossings from satellite imagery
• Use the on-screen crosshair and 5-meter safety radius to assess the scene
• Tap “Okay,” “Not Okay,” or “Unsure”
• That’s it — your vote is counted toward improving that crossing’s safety profile
⸻
💡 Why It Matters:
Every day, people face unsafe conditions just trying to cross the street.
Crosswalks blocked by parked cars, poorly marked zones, or unclear signage often go unnoticed — until someone gets hurt.
Your quick feedback helps make these issues visible and actionable.
