Road Safety Data

Our road safety data provides a snapshot of lives impacted and support to improve road safety.

The South Australian Road Safety Strategy to 2031 aims to improve road safety for everyone. The nation's vision is to achieve zero lives lost by 2050.

2024 road crash data snapshot

The strategy is supported by a robust monitoring and evaluation framework, which:

  • identifies how road safety actions are leading to change
  • allows us to assess and review actions
  • allows us to adapt and adjust our approach.

The monitoring and evaluation framework adopts 26 safety performance indicators (SPIs). The SPIs allows us to track the progress of road safety outcomes throughout the life of the strategy. They were selected in consultation with road safety researchers and stakeholders to improve how we collect data in South Australia.

More details about this framework are available in Measuring success - THINK! Road Safety page.

National road safety data

The Government of South Australia provides regular road safety data to the Bureau of Infrastructure and Transport Research Economics (BITRE). The data is added to the:

  • Australian Road Deaths Database
  • National Road Safety Research and Reporting Database.

BITRE publishes monthly, quarterly and annual road safety statistics. The data is collated from state and territory data to produce a national picture.

The National Road Safety Data Hub provides nationally consistent and timely data and information. The aim is to support the prevention of fatal and serious injuries on Australian roads. As a part of this, Australian and state and territory governments worked together to establish the national road safety catalogue.
