Abstract:
This study examines patterns
and long term trends in road crashes that occurred in Western Australia
over the period 1980 - 2000. The objective of the study is to analyse
the trends in conjunction with current crash patterns. The study
covers a selection of patterns that include collision types, severity,
speed and fatigue related crashes as well as some other road, environmental
and human factors. Regions are compared and any significant regional
differences reported where they occur.
The main purpose of the
study is to make recommendations for future road safety strategic
directions and action plans. The study is not meant to be an evaluation
of past road safety initiatives although general comments will be
made as to their affect on trends where appropriate.
