On-Road Cyclist Crashes in the Australian Capital Territory 2015-2025

ACT Government data contains cyclist crash reports from police and public submissions between 2015 and 2025. Records are updated regularly but may have a backlog, and casualty crashes under investigation are occasionally omitted. Crash locations are indicative and may not reflect precise incident positions.

Use Cases

• Analyze temporal trends in reported cyclist crashes across the ACT region
• Map indicative crash locations to identify potential high-risk road segments for cyclists
• Study reporting patterns by comparing police-submitted and public-submitted crash records

Strengths

• Covers a defined 10-year period from 2015 to 2025
• Includes reports from both police and public sources via a standardized form
• Regularly updated, with a last recorded update in March 2026

Limitations

• Crash locations are only indicative and may not be geographically accurate
• Data has a known backlog and is not a true reflection of up-to-date crash locations
