Frequently Asked Questions

How is the night walk safety score calculated?

The score evaluates six factors: area familiarity, time of night, street lighting, whether you have a companion, phone charge level, and whether you have shared your location. Each factor is weighted based on its impact on walking safety.

What time of night is most dangerous for walking?

Risk increases significantly after 11 PM and is highest between 1 AM and 4 AM when streets are emptiest, businesses are closed, and fewer people are around. If you must walk during these hours, take extra precautions.

What can I do to be safer walking at night?

Stick to well-lit, populated streets. Share your live location with someone. Keep your phone charged and accessible. Stay aware of your surroundings and avoid wearing headphones at full volume.
