Indicative Safe System rating (iRAP-inspired)

Confidence: Low

How this was rated

  • Safety rating capped due to missing safety-critical infrastructure details (speed limit).
  • Missing speed limit data in OpenStreetMap.

This safety rating is computed using a rule-based weighted model inspired by iRAP's methodology, evaluating infrastructure elements from OpenStreetMap (such as speed limits, sidewalks, crossings, and lighting) relative to the road user types involved.

Disclaimer: Indicative / iRAP-inspired — NOT an official iRAP rating

How the risk could be reduced

This analysis follows the Safe System (Vision Zero) approach: it looks at how the road environment itself could reduce risk for anyone using this location — it does not assign blame to anyone involved.

⚡ Safe Speeds: The speed limit here is not recorded, so we cannot say how fast traffic is meant to move on Leoforos Nikaias. As a secondary road with only one lane running one-way, it likely carries steady through-traffic, and for a motorcyclist any impact above a fairly modest speed is far more dangerous than for someone in a car. Without a known limit or any traffic-calming feature in the data, we cannot judge how well speeds here match a survivable outcome for a person on two wheels.

🛣️ Safe Roads & Roadsides: The road has just one lane and runs one-way, which limits some conflict but gives a motorcyclist no separation from other vehicles sharing that lane. Sidewalks exist nearby, but there are no marked pedestrian crossings or traffic signals recorded within 150 metres, and no roundabout to slow and manage turning movements at junctions. Whether there is a clear roadside strip free of poles, walls, or other rigid objects a rider could hit is not recorded, so that risk is unknown.

🚗 Safe Vehicles: No data is available on vehicle types, safety equipment, or technology involved in this collision, so nothing specific can be said about braking systems, rider visibility aids, or driver-assist technology here.

👥 Safe Road Users: With no traffic signals or marked crossings nearby, road users rely mainly on the road's own layout and any signage to understand priority and speed expectations, and none of that signage is recorded in this data. Whether the road is lit at night is also not tagged, which matters for how visible a motorcyclist is to other drivers in low light. Given how little is recorded here, any firm conclusion about enforcement or signage needs on-the-ground survey rather than this dataset alone.

Grounded in OpenStreetMap infrastructure data recorded near this location.
