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: Moira recorded 86 vulnerable-road-user crash records, 5 fatalities and 39 serious injuries. VRU crashes account for 8.9% of all recorded injury crashes and 7.5% of weighted harm. The largest VRU count group is pedestrians. School-age pedestrian/cyclist flags appear in 17 records. Older-pedestrian flags appear in 18 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: Moira recorded 100 heavy-vehicle-involved crash records, 22 fatalities and 63 serious injuries. Heavy-vehicle crashes account for 22.8% of total weighted harm. There are 4 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.
