Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: urban roads, especially at intersections.

Most crashes involving bicycles happen in urban areas. In 2024, there were 8,044 involving injuries or deaths: 5,756 on urban roads and 2,288 on roads outside built-up areas. On urban streets, many happen at intersections when a vehicle turns or pulls out without seeing the cyclist. Most cyclist deaths, however, occur on roads outside built-up areas.
