Heute wurde das #Ghostbike für #Natenom aufgestellt.
Vor 10 Tagen waren (laut @ghostbikebot) in #OpenStreetMap schon 770 Ghostbikes markiert.
Über https://mapcomplete.org/ghostbikes lassen sich die #Ghostbikes relativ einfach einpflegen, auch ohne #OSM-Kenntnisse.

(This technique is also used to link a street to the person/object/… that the street is named after, as visible in https://mapcomplete.org/etymology )
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…
