Houston Traffic Safety Center: Local Accident Hotspots & Repair Help
Know the road. Find reliable information. Get help after a crash. To start, our Houston Traffic Safety Center brings three local corridor guides together in one permanent place.
Houston recorded 67,386 crashes in 2022, according to TxDOT’s city crash statistics. That is more than 67,000 crashes in that year, not a fixed yearly total. Above all, behind each report is someone dealing with an unexpected disruption.
If anyone has an injury or faces immediate danger, call 911 first.
Choose your Houston traffic safety guide.
For example, each guide explains local traffic conflicts, official data sources, and the next steps after a collision. However, these pages do not confirm an active crash or present calculated corridor crash totals.
Katy Freeway: Wirt Road / Chimney Rock
First, explore lane changes, abrupt braking, and repair help along this busy eastbound and westbound corridor.
US-290 Northwest Freeway: Jersey Village / Beltway 8
Next, this Houston traffic safety guide covers freight traffic, connecting ramps, and the Beltway stack near Jersey Village and Willowood.
Westchase / Galleria / 610 West Loop
Finally, separate Westheimer and Richmond surface-street conflicts from West Loop curve and braking risks.
Houston traffic safety: Explore TranStar’s Incident Heat Map.
Use the official interactive map to explore recorded incidents by period and category. For example, TranStar offers filters for heavy trucks and accidents excluding stalls.

If the embedded map does not load, use the direct link above. TranStar controls this map and its data. However, its incident entries are not the same as police-reported crash totals.
Use official sources for Houston traffic safety research.
- First, check Houston’s active incidents portal for emergency-response entries.
- Next, use TranStar’s traffic and incident tools for roadway conditions and recorded disruptions.
- For historical analysis, consult TxDOT CRIS crash-data resources.
Also, define the date range and roadway boundaries before comparing results. A citywide crash total does not measure risk on a specific ramp or decide fault in an individual collision.
