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: Mansfield recorded 10 heavy-vehicle-involved crash records, 2 fatalities and 4 serious injuries. Heavy-vehicle crashes account for 3.6% of total weighted harm. There are 2 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.
