Highest-priority dangerous signalised intersections

This council-level panel ranks signalised intersections using the SCATS exposure-adjusted road-harm screening layer.

Headline signal: Nepean / Lincoln is the strongest Kingston signal-site priority in the SCATS exposure-adjusted screening layer. It ranks #1 locally and #40 statewide.

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: Kingston 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: Kingston recorded 986 vulnerable-road-user crash records, 13 fatalities and 432 serious injuries. VRU crashes account for 20.8% of all recorded injury crashes and 21.8% of weighted harm. The largest VRU count group is bicyclists. School-age pedestrian/cyclist flags appear in 158 records. Older-pedestrian flags appear in 120 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: Kingston recorded 164 heavy-vehicle-involved crash records, 7 fatalities and 70 serious injuries. Heavy-vehicle crashes account for 5.3% of total weighted harm. There are 23 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.
