An approach is provided for identifying and reporting road safety hotspot locations. The approach, for example, involves receiving a Vulnerability State Message from at least one Road User Device associated with a Road User. The Vulnerability State Message includes positional data and vulnerability state factor data, which may indicate an elevated road safety risk. This data is collated with other Vulnerability State data received from other Road User Devices associated with other Road Users concurrently located in the same geographic area. The approach also involves calculating a Vulnerability State summary value for each Road User, and an aggregate Vulnerability State summary value for the geographic area. The approach further involves reporting the geographic area as a Vulnerability Hotspot Location when the aggregate Vulnerability State summary value is determined to be above a threshold amount.
