Vulnerable Road User Atlas

This section focuses on pedestrian, bicyclist, motorcyclist, school-age pedestrian/cyclist and older-pedestrian harm patterns where fields are available.

Plain-English VRU signature: Campaspe recorded 129 vulnerable-road-user crash records, 2 fatalities and 43 serious injuries. VRU crashes account for 10.1% of all recorded injury crashes and 5.2% of weighted harm. The largest VRU count group is pedestrians. School-age pedestrian/cyclist flags appear in 30 records. Older-pedestrian flags appear in 17 records.

Freight Conflict Index

This section focuses on heavy-vehicle crash harm, vulnerable-road-user overlap and TIRTL freight exposure where available.

Plain-English freight signature: Campaspe recorded 85 heavy-vehicle-involved crash records, 7 fatalities and 43 serious injuries. Heavy-vehicle crashes account for 8.8% of total weighted harm. There are 3 heavy-vehicle crashes overlapping with pedestrians, bicyclists or motorcyclists. No TIRTL-matched freight-corridor harm was available for this council in the current matching layer.
