Shared paths support walking, cycling, and other forms of active transport and understanding use of these spaces can help Local Governments identify and address safety concerns.
The SafePaths project is funded by the Australian Government under the National Road Safety Action Grants Program and supported by Main Roads Western Australia and the City of Stirling.
The project, led by the Planning and Transport Research Centre (PATREC) at UWA, invites users across Western Australia to report crashes, near misses, and other safety issues via an online portal.
Users can log concerns such as path design, sightlines, signage, and conflict points. This data helps identify trends, high-risk locations, and potential improvements.
Local Governments are asked to share this participate and also promote this initiative to also encourage community participation. More insights and data from path users will help gain a better understanding of local conditions and help inform future planning and decision-making.
Please note, data collected through the SafePaths portal is anonymised and will only be used for research purposes. Participating Local Governments may also benefit from access to aggregated insights over time, supporting a better understanding of local issues and patterns across shared path networks.
