Safety at night:Moderate
Peterborough, in general, is a medium-sized city with well-lit main streets and populated areas, making these relatively safe for walking at night. The many closed-circuit television cameras (CCTV) installed around the city also give a degree of security. However, like any city, it has its less secure areas and times, particularly in isolated or less traveled areas at night time. It's advisble to always be aware of your surroundings, avoid poorly lit areas if possible, and plan your route home. As always, trust your instinct.
