Intersection harm share

Plain-English diagnosis: Pyrenees recorded 434 injury crash records, 20 fatalities and 251 serious injuries in the analysis period. The leading harm mechanism family is Turning / crossing conflict. Heavy-vehicle-involved crashes account for 16.5% of weighted harm, indicating a freight/conflict layer worth local review. High-speed roads account for 89.1% of weighted harm. Dark, dawn or dusk conditions account for 29.6% of weighted harm.

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: Pyrenees 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: Pyrenees recorded 10 vulnerable-road-user crash records, 1 fatalities and 2 serious injuries. VRU crashes account for 2.3% of all recorded injury crashes and 2.7% of weighted harm. The largest VRU count group is pedestrians. School-age pedestrian/cyclist flags appear in 3 records. Older-pedestrian flags appear in 3 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: Pyrenees recorded 34 heavy-vehicle-involved crash records, 6 fatalities and 18 serious injuries. Heavy-vehicle crashes account for 16.5% of total weighted harm. No TIRTL-matched freight-corridor harm was available for this council in the current matching layer.
