Questions

Canberra — FAQ

Where does the Canberra crash data come from?
Directly from official government open data: ACT Government Open Data — ACT Road Crash Data (ACT Policing / Transport Canberra). Police-reported collisions are published on the open-data portal (typically with a short processing delay) and we re-read it every 6 hours. This is real police data, not news reports.
How many car accidents happen in Canberra?
In this latest sample of 150 police-reported crashes (2026-08-27 to 2026-09-07), 14 people were injured and 0 killed. Across the whole area, Canberra records thousands of reported collisions per year.
Is this map real-time?
No. The ACT Government publishes crash records in monthly batches, so the newest records here are usually two to six weeks old. We re-read the dataset every 6 hours, so new batches appear here the day they are published. For life-threatening emergencies always call 000 — this page is informational.
What can the crash pattern explorer show?
It filters the official records from the last 365 days (up to 5,000 of the most recent) by period, severity, collision type and a circle drawn on the map, and charts them by week next to a full-year monthly total from the portal's own counts. It counts recorded crashes only: without traffic volumes it cannot say how risky a street is, so it never ranks streets as safe or dangerous.
