When and where crashes happen

These crash figures come from Queensland's Department of Transport and Main Roads, drawn from its record of road crashes reported to police across the state.

The page lays those crashes out by the hour of the day they happened, the speed zone, where on the road they occurred, and the light and weather at the time, so the pattern in when and where they happen is there to read at a glance.

The department publishes the underlying crash locations as open data, and WayBeacon reads it live rather than keeping its own copy. The figures describe the conditions around a crash, not its cause. WayBeacon is independent and not affiliated with any government body.
