Urban density was subdivided into five metrics: population, employment, business, weekday/weekend resident densities.
Examined socioeconomic factors including fiscal independence, commercial land ratios, and foreign populations.
Higher employment density tends to increase traffic accidents.
In contrast, higher business density is associated with a decrease in traffic accidents.
Weekday resident density reduces accidents due to regular commuting, while weekend increases correlate with leisure-related accidents.
