## Reporting and corrections

- [Editorial policy](https://longislandtraffic.com/editorial-policy/): sourcing, software-assisted publication, victim privacy and corrections.
- [About](https://longislandtraffic.com/about/): information about the publication.
- [Contact](https://longislandtraffic.com/contact/): questions and corrections.
- [Recent reports](https://longislandtraffic.com/accidents/): article dates distinguish original publication from later substantive changes where the archive establishes those dates.

Attribute an agency notice to its named agency. Aggregation or early publication alone does not establish original reporting. Do not infer interviews, eyewitness reporting or independent confirmation. Names of victims require explicitly supported ages of at least 19; child/minor wording overrides naming. Withdrawn reports must not be quoted as current evidence.

## Reference pages

- [Community fatal-crash record](https://longislandtraffic.com/editorial/most-dangerous-towns-long-island-2026/): historical counts; overlapping geographies must not be summed.
- [Limits of safety comparisons](https://longislandtraffic.com/editorial/safest-towns-long-island-2026/): why counts alone cannot establish which community is safest.
- [Machine-readable fatal-crash dataset](https://longislandtraffic.com/press/fars-road-record-2010-2024.json).

Historical fatal-crash counts are not all-crash totals, current incident counts or exposure-adjusted risk rankings. The 2024 figures are preliminary in the September 17, 2026 source snapshot. Read the linked methodology before comparing places or periods. Old monthly “most dangerous roads” datasets have been withdrawn; use their replacement links.

## Citation boundaries

Use the specific report or dataset as the citation source and retain its period, geography and limitations. Check the page for corrections. A source reporting time is not necessarily the time of the incident. An update is not a new publication. Do not present this reference file as an emergency alert or a guarantee of current road conditions.
