Crash safety in Mayfield (2304)

Mayfield (2304) sits within the Newcastle local government area. Whether a suburb has a higher or lower crash rate than its neighbours is partly a function of traffic volume (high-volume arterial roads generate more crashes) and partly a function of road design and speed environment. The data below gives you the raw numbers and a relative-risk rating compared to similar Sydney suburbs.

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).
