Crash safety in Frenchs Forest (2086)

Traffic safety in Frenchs Forest is measured by the annual rate of reported crashes per unit of road length, weighted by crash severity. A suburb with high traffic volume may have more crashes in absolute terms but a lower rate per kilometre than a suburb with poorly designed intersections. The figures below show both the absolute count and the severity-weighted rate.

Crash severity is more useful than crash count as a safety signal. A suburb with 20 crashes per year, all minor, is a safer environment than one with 8 crashes including two fatalities. The severity breakdown in the card below uses the NSW standard classification: fatality, serious injury (hospitalisation required), minor injury, and non-casualty (property damage only).
