A high injury network (sometimes shortened to HIN[1]) is a way of identifying parts of an urban street network with higher rates of traffic injuries or fatalities, typically with a goal of prioritizing these streets for safety interventions[2]. High injury networks have been published by many cities in the US[3][4] and Canada[5] as part of their efforts to work toward Vision Zero[6]. While data on fatalities and collisions have long been available in many municipalities, the first HIN per se was published by San Francisco in 2013[2].

Creating a HIN is a data-driven[7] exercise, and the analytic methods and data sources used may vary widely[8][9]. Most HINs are created at the scale of cities where detailed collision data is collected, though regional efforts at defining a more standardized approach also exist[9].
