    (This technique is also used to link a street to the person/object/… that the street is named after, as visible in )

    This way, one could write and see a nice article and relevant pictures about the person who was killed directly from the map or add all relevant details to a wikidata entry about the fatal crash.

      I hope that this answers your question why the “date of the crash” is not in the ghostbike map, whereas “date of installation” is.

      It also feels a bit uncomfortable to give such a dry and technical answer about a very emotional topic - I have ties with the local cycling association and helped with placing Ghost bikes as well. Every time, I hope that there won’t be the need to place more of them, but there just are so much killings by (huge) cars…
