Crash safety in Gladesville (2111)

Traffic safety in Gladesville 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.

High crash counts in a suburb are not always a reflection of dangerous local roads. They can reflect the presence of a major arterial or highway that passes through the postcode, carrying high volumes of through-traffic. Check whether the crashes in Gladesville are concentrated on one or two high-volume roads or distributed across the residential street network, as that tells you a lot about whether the risk is avoidable for most residents.
