The data is available on the ** TfNSW Centre for Road Safety ** website. The site provides information on:

1. Interactive crash statistics with dynamic reports on road user deaths and injuries, locations and crash types.

2. Fatality trends that shows the number of road deaths per 100,000 population from 1908 onwards.

3. Serious injuries that show over the period from 2005 to 2015, about 30 people are hospitalised by crashes on NSW roads each day.

4. Reports and publications that you can download.

This dataset provides data professionals and road safety analysts direct access to road crash data.

Ready access to this data helps you take on more detailed research and evaluation that can contribute to better understanding of crashes and risks and improve road safety in the context of Safe Systems.

Safe systems recognises that issues relating to infrastructure, vehicles, speed, and drivers cannot be viewed in isolation, but rather their interactions need to be considered.

This data will provide a view of crash locations and environmental conditions as well as the involved vehicle types and the drivers and people who are injured or lose their lives.

Publication of data will comply with the Privacy and Personal Information Protection Act 1998, which ensures sensitive information is not included in this proposed sets of data to be released.

Five years of crash data will be initially published with updates to be made annually.

Transport for NSW also has a significant amount of crash information available on the Centre for Road Safety website, which is presented in an easy to view way to investigate trends and factors contributing to crashes in NSW: Interactive Crash Statistics

Speed cameras are speed enforcement tools that encourage drivers to slow down and help to reduce the road toll. All speed cameras in NSW are signposted. This dataset includes location points of Fixed Speed Cameras which are used at high-risk locations or in areas with a history of severe crashes and Red Light Speed Cameras which are installed to reduce crashes at high-risk intersections with traffic lights. Mobile Speed Camera locations (street and suburb) are also provided. This dataset also identifies which speed camera location points are in school zones across NSW. Speed camera locations are also available on the Centre for Road Safety website: https://roadsafety.transport.nsw.gov.au/speeding/speedcameras/current-lo...

Young pedestrians have long been a major target for road safety propaganda partly due to their over-representation in pedestrian traffic crashes. The Australian Department of Transport in co-operation with the traffic and road safety authorities of the Australian States and Territories has been responsible for the production of education material utilising the fantasy animal character, Hector Cat, in commun- icating to children aged 5 - 8 years old. An exploratory research programme was developed to observe how children reacted to this educational material. The research was subdivided into the following areas of investigation. Results along with child development literature indicated that, while subjects found Hector likeable, he was not as positive a model as was an authority or teaching figure in the reality-based area of traffic safety. Subjects were more involved with the story content than they were with the educational content of the Hector material. The Hector road safety film was unsuccessful in promoting safe road crossing behaviour amongst subjects. Finally, while subjects were able to correctly identify situations as either safe or dangerous, reasons given for these decisions created doubt as to subjects' comprehension of the concept of danger as it related to themselves. These findings suggest that future educational programmes would be more successful if they took into account the serious handicaps of children under 8 in the traffic environment, due to their physical immaturity and lack of experience in assessing traffic situations. Recommendations are made with regard to the types of changes which could be incorporated into future traffic safety education programmes directed at the young pedestrian.

From time-to-time, questions arise regarding the role played in traffic crashes by caravans towed by cars or car-derived vehicles (station wagons, utilities, panel vans). It has been suggested that towed caravans may constitute an undue hazard to other road users and that therefore special restrictions should be placed on usage of these vehicles. Such restrictions may, for example, be in the form of special licensing requirements, vehicle/caravan combination design requirements or speed limits. This paper sets out to examine the involvement of towed caravans in traffic crashes in New South Wales and to consider variously proposed countermeasures.

Various facilities associated with the Road dataset. The following are ‘facility points’ being a point feature class defining a facility related to transport. Bus Interchange: a connection or terminal point for long distance bus travellers or other major transport interchange. Parking Area: an area set aside for the parking of motor vehicles. The following are ‘traffic control devices’ being a point feature class representing structures which control movement of traffic along a road. Level Crossing: a place where a road and railway intersect at the same level. Toll Booth: a structure on a road which requires the user to pay a toll or fee to use the road. Impediment: a structure generally associated with a road that controls or varies the normal travel of vehicles or pedestrians. Roundabout: the notional midpoint of a roundabout that has been constructed to allow smooth integration of traffic. Gate: an opening in a fence or wall for the passage of vehicles or animals and which may contain a device to limit passage. Cattle Grid: an open floored structure designed to be crossed by motor vehicles.

Coroners' data on blood alcohol concentrations of fatally injured crash victims in New South Wales are examined. Published data from Victoria and Queensland are summarised. It is found that in New South Wales the blood alcohol concentrations of a large proportion of all fatally injured drivers and riders remains unknown. An exact estimate of the proportion of drivers and riders with a blood alcohol concentration above the legal limit of 0.08g/100m1 cannot be obtained. However, a range of estimates may be obtained by assuming that the unknown blood alcohol concentrations may all be either above or below the legal limit. Based mainly on data collected from New South Wales coroners' courts, and supported by data from other States, it is estimated that 30% to 60% of all drivers and motorcyclists who die as a result of a motor traffic crash have a blood alcohol concentration of 0.08g/100m1 (.08%) or more.

Report forms concerning the deaths of 120 motorcycle riders in traffic crashes in New South Wales have been studied. Most of those killed were young men. Deaths were particularly common after 6:00pm and at the weekend. In many cases a colliding vehicle had not been aware of the motorcyclist’s presence. Any measure which would make motorcycles more easily visible, such as the constant burning of headlights, should have a beneficial effect. Head injury was very common. If 100 per cent of motorcyclist in New South Wales wore helmets, rather than the 75 per cent as at present, the death rate would be cut by about 35 percent.

The NSW Road Safety Strategy 2012-2021 and NSW 2021 have ambitious targets for improving road safety in NSW. The NSW Government aims to reduce fatalities and serious injuries by at least 30 per cent by the end of 2021. The NSW Government is pleased to report on the progress towards this and more broadly towards the longer term vision of zero deaths and serious injuries on NSW roads. A commitment in the NSW Road Safety Strategy is for the Government to report to Parliament on its road safety activities. This is the second annual report to Parliament, and details the road safety results for 2013 calendar year, and the range of initiatives over the 2013/2014 financial year.
