Road fatalities and serious injuries in Australia and New Zealand 2001-10

This report is part of a project to determine the crash rates on different road stereotypes. It provides an analysis of all injuries from road crashes occurring in all Australian jurisdictions and New Zealand over the period 2001-2010. It explains how the differences in definitions were reconciled and how the data were aggregated. The analyses focus on trends and time-related factors, vehicles, road users and road and road environment factors. Data are separated by severity; in line with Safe System principles, the report focuses on fatalities and serious injuries. Key differences between the different data systems, other limitations of the report, and the next steps in the project are discussed.
