Abstract

The paper demonstrates the application of data handling procedures which matched road classification to data on a standard road accident file. Bicycle accidents in Melbourne (1981) are classified by type, location, age of rider and other relevant criteria. It is concluded that bicycle accidents on lower- order roads are different in nature to those on arterials, requiring different sorts of safety strategies. While in- depth and case studies are rec- ommended, more information could be gleaned from available mass accident data, particularly by adding information on street type.
