Documenting DC safety violations
DangerousDC.org is a citizen-led initiative documenting safety violations throughout Washington, DC. We photograph and catalog illegal sign placements, sightline violations, broken sidewalks, and other infrastructure issues that make our streets less safe for pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers.
Our goal is to raise awareness and provide documented evidence to help city officials prioritize repairs and enforcement.
Signs placed in violation of DC regulations that obstruct visibility, block sidewalks, or create safety hazards. This includes improperly placed political signs, business signage, and temporary construction signs.
Illegal parking that blocks visibility at intersections, crosswalks, and driveways. These violations create dangerous blind spots for pedestrians and drivers, particularly affecting children and wheelchair users.
Broken, cracked, or missing sidewalk sections that create tripping hazards and accessibility barriers. These issues particularly impact elderly residents, people with disabilities, and parents with strollers.
DangerousDC.org was created by concerned DC residents who believe that systematic documentation of safety violations can help prioritize city resources and improve enforcement. We work to:
This is a non-partisan, community safety initiative focused on making DC streets safer for everyone.
