01 / Where to look
A street is a system.
Road safety lives in relationships: a clear sign can still fail beside a hidden crossing; good pavement can still lead into a badly designed junction. Inspect the whole scene.

02 / Inspection elements
The complete field checklist.
Based on Annex IIa of the EU road infrastructure safety management directive. Search an observable condition or focus on one category.
No inspection elements match that search. Try a broader term or reset the filters.
03 / Official crash data
Incidents in
Capital Municipality.
What happens on Sofia’s roads, when, and where—according to the Ministry of Interior’s official dataset on Bulgaria’s Open Data Portal.

Darker cells represent more recorded crashes.
How to read the data
Values represent crashes recorded by the Ministry of Interior, not an assessment of risk or proof that infrastructure caused a crash. The current year is partial. Records without valid coordinates are included in every summary but omitted from the geographic grid. Values may be corrected in subsequent updates to the official dataset.
04 / Evidence method
From a street condition
to a defensible finding.
A pin on a map is only useful when others can understand why it is there. Every finding should preserve the observation, its source, and the reasoning behind its assessment.
-
01
Observe
Locate and describe the physical or operational condition without overstating what the evidence shows.
Geometry · date · direction -
02
Document
Attach photographs, measurements, official data, reports, or other traceable source material.
Source · method · provenance -
03
Assess
Record affected users, exposure, severity, confidence, and the reasoning for each judgement.
Risk · confidence · users -
04
Act & revisit
Prioritise a remedy, track its status, and return to evaluate whether the condition has improved.
Action · owner · outcome
Absence of evidence is not evidence of safety.
Always show where and when inspection coverage is incomplete.
