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: Greater Shepparton recorded 285 vulnerable-road-user crash records, 9 fatalities and 114 serious injuries. VRU crashes account for 13.1% of all recorded injury crashes and 9.8% of weighted harm. The largest VRU count group is pedestrians. School-age pedestrian/cyclist flags appear in 50 records. Older-pedestrian flags appear in 21 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: Greater Shepparton recorded 126 heavy-vehicle-involved crash records, 17 fatalities and 89 serious injuries. Heavy-vehicle crashes account for 11.7% of total weighted harm. There are 6 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.
