Yarra highest-priority dangerous signalised intersections

Signalised intersections ranked by crash harm, fatal/serious injuries, vulnerable-road-user involvement, heavy-vehicle involvement and SCATS exposure-adjusted harm per movement.

Headline finding: Bridge / Church is the strongest Yarra signal-site priority in this screening layer. It ranks #1 locally and #11 statewide.

Important wording: This page identifies the strongest road-harm priority signals in the SCATS exposure-adjusted screening layer. It is not an engineering safety audit or legal finding.

Method wording for public use

These are the Yarra 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.
