How many accidents are there a year [bike, cart,car pedestrian]?
And where do they occur [place pinpoints on a map that all can see]?
I wouldn't change speed limits, change stop sign laws or request police support either.
You don't need a study like the one below. I don't think many will even read a study. But, for example if you found out that the intersection of one of the highways and Morse or Buena Vista had many accidents maybe you would pay more attention, turn off the radio or pick another route. It's a heads-up. When people visit me from up north I give them a heads up that speed limits change many times on the way here coming from 95.

This is how I found the study. It's a sad story.

I think the online information available to anyone changed how we live. The days of going to a library and asking the librarian for help finding resources are long gone.
I think you could have a group map, using google maps and people could add pinpoints for accident. I don't know if that can be done.
