Interactive map of 18,425 cyclist crashes (all injury levels) in Victoria from 2012-2025. Built to support advocacy groups with data-driven evidence for safer cycling infrastructure.
This tool is an effort to work with complex datasets and create high-performance, functional mapping solutions that aid in advocacy. We built this to support Bicycle User Groups (BUGs) and cycling advocates with:
⚠️ Important Note:
These charts turn the crash database into ready-to-use talking points: how severity trends are evolving, which demographics are most affected, and where the worst corridors and intersections demand urgent fixes.
Stacked yearly totals for fatalities, serious injuries, and minor crashes (2012-2025).
Share of cyclist casualties by age group across all crash severities.
9.8% of cyclist casualties involve riders under 18.
Danger score combines crashes, fatal outcomes, and crash density. Based on crashes since 2021 (last 5 years).
Color indicates status: success stories, monitoring, or dangerous locations. Based on crashes since 2021 (last 5 years).
DCA categories grouped by high-level crash mechanics. 1 in 3 crashes happens at an intersection.
Hourly crash counts by day of week. Darker cells indicate higher crash volumes. 37.4% of crashes occur during commuting peaks (7-8am & 5-6pm).
Slide 1 of 6
Use the "Crash Categories" sidebar to filter by 12 crash types: Intersection (6,592), Same Direction (3,835), Dooring (1,795), Loss of Control (1,653), and more. Each category expands to show specific DCA codes with crash counts.
Color-coded markers identify intersection safety status: Green (improvements completed, crashes eliminated), Amber (monitoring effectiveness), Red (dangerous, needs intervention), Black (awaiting research). Click markers to see detailed analysis with design problems, infrastructure timelines, and recommendations.
Toggle "Dangerous Cycling Corridors" to highlight road segments with crash concentrations. View research findings on specific corridor safety issues and recommended improvements.
Toggle "Cycling Infrastructure" layers to overlay 55,705 bike facility segments (protected lanes, separated paths, painted lanes, sharrows) with crash data. Identify where infrastructure gaps correlate with crashes.
Use the sliders to filter crashes by year (2012-2025) and cyclist age to analyze temporal patterns and demographic trends.
