R53: Identifying Higher Risk State-Controlled Roads for Speed Related Crashes (2016/17)

November 24, 2025

Speeding remains a significant contributing factor in fatal and serious injury crashes. The social cost of speed-related fatal and serious injury (FSI) crashes in Queensland is estimated at $283 million per year. The aims of the study were to: conduct a literature review and crash analysis to identify the causes and contributing factors of speed-related crashes; identify the relationship between road features and speed-related crashes, if any; identify high-risk state-controlled roads for speed-related crashes; and propose treatment options to reduce the risk of speed-related crashes occurring.
