Canberra Crash Map and Accident Trends
The most recent police-reported reported collisions in Canberra, plotted from official open data — locations, injuries and contributing factors. The ACT Government publishes crash records in monthly batches, so the newest records here are usually two to six weeks old. This is government-published crash data, not news coverage.
Canberra is the capital city of Australia and the largest population centre in the Australian Capital Territory. With an estimated population of 484,630 as of 2025, Canberra is Australia's largest inland city and the eighth-largest Australian city by population. The city occupies most of the northern quadrant of the Australian Capital Territory, and its urban sprawl borders the state of New South Wales to the northwest, northeast and southeast.

Counts are recorded crashes, not risk: without traffic volumes a busy street will always show more crashes, so nothing here ranks places as safe or dangerous. Records are matched by Socrata row id (:id); a record the source edits is revised, never counted twice. How this data is handled.
