Danvers advisory panel reviews 2025 crash, enforcement data showing 1,152 total crashes
Summary
The Transportation Advisory Commission reviewed 2025 crash and traffic-enforcement statistics, including 1,152 total crashes, one fatality and enforcement activity that produced 1,424 citations; staff flagged speeding and crosswalk violations among top offenses and noted enforcement operations tied to DDACTS and grant-funded efforts.
The Town of Danvers Transportation Advisory Commission reviewed a Traffic Enforcement and Crash Summary for 2025 that reported 1,152 total motor-vehicle crashes, 375 crash reports and one fatality.
The data, presented as part of the commission's regular packet, also recorded eight pedestrian crashes, 25 bicycle crashes and 173 other injury crashes. Law-enforcement activity listed 3,093 motor-vehicle stops, 1,357 selective-enforcement stops, 1,424 total citations (including 1,170 written warnings, 125 civil fines and 75 criminal citations) and 46 arrests. The summary noted 19 OUI-L arrests and two OUI-D arrests among the arrest totals.
Top recorded violations for 2025 were speeding (591), failure-to-yield/crosswalk violations (159) and use of an electronic device while driving (156). The packet also summarized results from DDACTS (Data Driven Approaches to Crime & Traffic Safety) operations and traffic-grant enforcement activity, which together accounted for multiple targeted operations and stops.
Commission materials noted that traffic enforcement cited in the summary represents the work product of 22 officers. No formal vote or policy change was recorded at the meeting; commissioners were briefed and continued to discuss enforcement priorities and data-driven operations.
Next steps: the commission did not adopt new regulations at the meeting but kept enforcement and engineering countermeasures on the agenda for further review.
