Geocoded Road Traffic Crashes in Nairobi, Kenya Derived from Crowdsourced Reports [2012 - 2023]

The datasets contain the time and location of road traffic crashes in Kenya (primarily Nairobi); crash information is derived from crowdsourced reports from @Ma3Route. Ma3Route is a mobile/web/SMS platform that crowdsources transport data and provides users with information on traffic, road traffic crash (RTC), matatu directions and driving reports. Users post RTC or traffic information to Ma3Route, where Ma3Route then publishes the post on Twitter. Tweets from @Ma3Route were queried using the Twitter API (tweets were no longer queried once Twitter rebranded to X).
