Albany is a small city, but its streets carry a steady stream of regional traffic. Corridors like I-80, Marin Avenue, Solano Avenue, and San Pablo Avenue see heavy use from commuters, shoppers, and cyclists alike, and that volume shows up in the numbers. In the most recent year on record, Albany logged 66 injury collisions, with 89 people hurt and 1 traffic death. Collisions tend to cluster on Fridays between 3 and 5 p.m., when work traffic, school pickups, and weekend errands overlap. If you were hurt in one of these incidents, you're not alone, and you don't have to figure out next steps by yourself.
