Highest-priority dangerous signalised intersections

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

Headline signal: Bayswater / Eastfield is the strongest Maroondah signal-site priority in the SCATS exposure-adjusted screening layer. It ranks #1 locally and #30 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: Maroondah has localised worsening signals even if the whole-council signal is below the statewide top threshold.
