Emerging hotspots and worsening trends

This section compares recent road harm against the long-run baseline to identify patterns that may be getting worse.

Plain-English signal: Gannawarra has localised worsening signals even if the whole-council signal is below the statewide top threshold.

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: Gannawarra recorded 18 vulnerable-road-user crash records, 1 fatalities and 9 serious injuries. VRU crashes account for 5.4% of all recorded injury crashes and 5.0% of weighted harm. The largest VRU count group is pedestrians. School-age pedestrian/cyclist flags appear in 4 records. Older-pedestrian flags appear in 7 records.
