Method wording for public use

These are the Maribyrnong signalised intersections with the strongest road-harm priority signals in the SCATS exposure-adjusted screening layer. The rankings combine total crash harm, fatal/serious injuries, harm per observed movement, vulnerable-road-user involvement and heavy-vehicle involvement.

Caveat: SCATS movements are an exposure proxy. Crash-to-SCATS matching is proximity-based. This page is a public-interest prioritisation tool and not an engineering safety audit.
