Nimman Road, Chiang Mai(Thailand) is a well-mapped, high-traffic corridor. It scores a B on network density: good intersection frequency, reasonable block lengths. But it scores near zero on crossing coverage because there are no highway=crossing nodes tagged within the 800m analysis radius. The street has physical crossings. They’re just invisible to any tool that relies on OSM, which is most tools.

That’s what SafeStreets shows: not just a score, but which data gap is causing it.
