5. Star Ratings

6. 83% Pedestrians of roads where pedestrians are present
and speeds are 40km/h or more have no footpath

7. 61% Head-on Crashes of roads where vehicles travel at 80km/h or more
are undivided single carriageways

8. Vehicle occupants www.irap.org
We can use the results to identify low-risk sites (the bridge has safety barrier along both sides, a physical median and no intersections) and the high risk locations (undivided, hazardous roadside objects and poorly designed intersections).
