ACT Police-Reported Road Crashes from 2015 to 2025

Spatial data on road crashes within the Australian Capital Territory reported by police or the public from 2015 to 2025. The dataset is maintained by the ACT Government's TCCS and is reviewed annually, with updates as of March 2026. Crashes are mapped to indicative intersection or midblock locations.

Use Cases

• Analyze spatial crash patterns using reported location attributes to identify high-risk intersections or road segments.
• Study temporal trends in police-reported and public-reported crashes over the 2015-2025 coverage period.
• Map crash data against road infrastructure datasets using the indicative spatial location points.

Strengths

• Covers an 11-year time range from 2015 to 2025, providing longitudinal data.
• Data is reviewed and updated annually, with a recent update in March 2026.
• Includes crashes reported through a formal channel (AFP Crash Report Form), ensuring a consistent reporting standard.

Limitations

• Only includes crashes reported via the specific AFP form, excluding incidents reported through other channels.
• Spatial locations are indicative of intersections or midblocks, not exact crash coordinates.
• Data may change retrospectively due to the annual review process, affecting historical consistency.
