Between 2019 and 2023, the City of Denton experienced 15,575 reported crashes, including 68 fatal crashes. As part of this phase, the High-Injury Network (HIN) was developed to identify roadway segments and intersections with a disproportionate concentration of traffic fatalities, serious injuries, and minor injuries. The HIN represents only 9.4% of the City’s total roadway network; it accounts for 66.9% of all fatal, serious injury, and minor injury crashes, including nearly 67% of all fatal crashes.
