Plain-English diagnosis: Glenelg recorded 684 injury crash records, 38 fatalities and 317 serious injuries in the analysis period. The leading harm mechanism family is Turning / crossing conflict. Heavy-vehicle-involved crashes account for 24.7% of weighted harm, indicating a freight/conflict layer worth local review. High-speed roads account for 86.3% of weighted harm. Dark, dawn or dusk conditions account for 43.8% of weighted harm.

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: Glenelg recorded 66 vulnerable-road-user crash records, 1 fatalities and 20 serious injuries. VRU crashes account for 9.6% of all recorded injury crashes and 4.6% of weighted harm. The largest VRU count group is bicyclists. School-age pedestrian/cyclist flags appear in 22 records. Older-pedestrian flags appear in 8 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: Glenelg recorded 91 heavy-vehicle-involved crash records, 13 fatalities and 50 serious injuries. Heavy-vehicle crashes account for 24.7% 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.
