Pedestrian and cyclist crashes in Tallinn: riskier places and times
In 2017–2026 LKF registered 1,774 cases of a vehicle hitting a pedestrian or cyclist in Tallinn (1,072 pedestrians, 702 cyclists). 74 % of them involved personal injury, against 1.8 % of all traffic claims. Below are places, streets, hours and months; the numbers are small, so the period is ten years.

What the data shows
- About three in four claims end in injury. 1,305 claims (74 %) involve personal injury, against 1.8 % of all traffic claims. That is why pedestrian and cyclist crashes are a topic of their own.
- The evening rush is the worst time for pedestrians and cyclists too. The most claims are at 17:00 (187), and 16:00–19:00 holds 30 % of all. They are more frequent on weekdays: weekends hold 16 %.
- The warm season has the larger share. April to October holds 67 % of the claims, most in August (198) and fewest in February (88). The cycling season is part of this.
- The biggest hotspot is Endla tn / Tulika tn (Kristiine). Within 100 m of it there are 15 claims in ten years. By street, Pärnu mnt (95) and Sõpruse pst (57) come first; they are long arterials and the count also depends on traffic.

A place is a cluster of at least four claims within 100 m; the location is approximate. The numbers are small, so single claims affect the order: read it as a list of places, not a precise ranking.

How to read this
For families with children
The data has no victim age or school-route information. Check around a home yourself: crossings, speed limits, lighting and cycle paths. The places listed are busy junctions, not specific crossings.
For cyclists and pedestrians
Claims are densest in the 16:00–19:00 rush and in the warm season. Visibility and lighting matter then and in the darker late autumn.
What the number does not say
This is the number of collisions reported to an insurer; lighter contacts and incidents without an insurance claim are missing. Police data may differ. The number is not an assessment of how dangerous your route is.
For journalists and analysts
Every figure can be quoted: the period, unit and source sit beside it. Please credit LKF and Estiq.
LKF registered 1,774 collisions with pedestrians or cyclists in Tallinn in 2017–2026; 74 % of them involved personal injury (Estiq analysis).
The peak hour is 17:00; April to October holds 67 % of the claims.

Data, method and limits
Data
Traffic and parking damage data come from the official register of motor third-party liability claims kept by the Estonian Traffic Insurance Fund (LKF). The register holds 321,926 claims from 2017–2026, of which 163,726 are in Tallinn. Data as of November 10, 2026.
Method
The main period is 36 complete months (Nov 2023 – Oct 2026); heat maps and the pedestrian page use all years 2017–2026. Each claim is put in one group from the LKF “situation” field (parking, rear-end, junction and so on). Coordinates (L-EST97) are converted to WGS84 and matched to the nearest named road line (OpenStreetMap) within 50 m; 81% of claims got a street. A place (junction, parking area) is a cluster of claims within 80 m; its centre is approximate.
Limits
This is insurance-claim data, not police-recorded road accidents: only damage reported to an insurer is counted. There are no traffic volumes in the data, so busy streets and large car parks have more claims. A time of 00:00 means unknown time in the data (6.0 % of claims) and is left out of every hour-of-day count. The place of a claim is not the claimant’s home. A count describes an area, not a particular flat or the safety of living there.
