SafeStreet is a web-based prototype that helps users evaluate pedestrian walkability between two locations by providing a walkability score, safety verdict, and risk breakdown. Built to promote people-first streets, safer walking decisions, and sustainable cities.
This is our team project for our first-ever hackathon.

SafeStreet is a web-based prototype designed to help people understand how safe and walkable a route is before choosing to walk.
Instead of focusing only on distance or time, SafeStreet emphasizes pedestrian safety, walkability, and people-first urban design.
This project was built as part of a hackathon to explore how digital tools can support safer, healthier, and more sustainable cities.
Many cities are designed primarily for vehicles rather than pedestrians.
As a result, people face unsafe walking conditions due to:
- Poor or broken footpaths
- Inadequate street lighting
- Unsafe pedestrian crossings
- High traffic density
This discourages walking, increases pollution and transport costs, and negatively affects public health and quality of life.
SafeStreet acts as a Walking Decision Assistant.
Users enter a starting location and destination, and the system provides:
- A Walkability Score (0–100)
- A clear safety verdict (Safe / Caution / Avoid)
- A transparent risk breakdown explaining why the verdict was given
The goal is not just to show data, but to help users make informed walking decisions.
- Simple input: From → To location
- Walkability score with color-coded feedback
- Clear safety verdict:
- 🟢 Safe to Walk
- 🟡 Walk with Caution
- 🔴 Avoid Walking
- Risk breakdown based on:
- Traffic conditions
- Lighting
- Footpath quality
- Pedestrian crossings
- Clean, responsive, and demo-friendly UI
⚠️ Note: This is a prototype. The scoring logic is simulated for validation and demonstration purposes.
- Human-centric and decision-focused
- Transparent and explainable logic
- Inclusive and low-friction (no mandatory login)
- Built for clarity rather than complexity
- HTML
- CSS
- JavaScript
(Prototype-level implementation, no backend)
- Current version uses simulated logic to validate the concept
- Designed to support future integration with:
- OpenStreetMap (OSM)
- Public urban and pedestrian datasets
- Crowdsourced feedback
SafeStreet aligns with the following UN Sustainable Development Goals:
- SDG 11 – Sustainable Cities & Communities
- SDG 3 – Good Health & Well‑Being
By encouraging safe walking, SafeStreet supports healthier lifestyles, reduced emissions, and people-first urban planning.
- Real-time map and routing integration
- Crowdsourced safety feedback
- Accessibility-focused scoring
- City-level insights for urban planners
- Policy and governance dashboards
This project is an early-stage prototype created for hackathon evaluation.
It focuses on validating user experience, decision logic, and impact, rather than full-scale production deployment.
SafeStreet helps cities move from car-centric roads to people-first streets by making walkability visible, measurable, and actionable.
