In the 12 months through January 31, 1257 people were killed, up 5.4 per cent on the same period a year earlier. NSW experienced the second-biggest increase in that time, with fatalities rising 31 per cent, behind a 40 per cent jump in South Australia."<br>>><br><a href="https://www.afr.com/politics/federal/nsw-takes-lead-in-sharing-secret-road-crash-data-20240216-p5f5gh" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">afr.com/politics/federal/nsw-t</span><span class="invisible">akes-lead-in-sharing-secret-road-crash-data-20240216-p5f5gh</span></a></p><p>Mobility design for deaths and injuries<br>It appears that the 'safety data' has only fossil fuel powered mobility on bitumen roads in mind. There seems to be an omission of foot-traffic (footpaths), separated bicycle paths or public transport in the concept. The killing of biodiversity via vehicles also does not enter the statistics. This mono-cultural mobility design and dataset is one of the 'integral accident'.</p><p>“NSW has a transparent approach to road safety data, with a publicly available dataset on the Centre for Road Safety website and daily updates of fatalities on our roads."><br><a href="https://www.transport.nsw.gov.au/roadsafety/statistics/interactive-crash-statistics" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">transport.nsw.gov.au/roadsafet</span><span class="invisible">y/statistics/interactive-crash-statistics</span></a><br><a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Roads" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Roads</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/cars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cars</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/SUVs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SUVs</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/infrastructure" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>infrastructure</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Trauma" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Trauma</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/crash" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>crash</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/DataTransparency" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DataTransparency</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/FossilFuel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FossilFuel</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/culture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>culture</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/MobilityDesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MobilityDesign</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/sacrifice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sacrifice</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/deaths" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>deaths</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/biodiversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>biodiversity</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/IntegralAccident" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IntegralAccident</span></a></p>
