The record behind this

Every figure comes from NZTA’s Crash Analysis System, filtered to Christchurch City. CAS locates a crash by the nearest pair of roads, so this page counts the crashes the record pins to this pairing, which includes crashes a few metres either side of the stop line and can share a crash with a neighbouring pairing. Damage-only and minor crashes are underreported everywhere; the killed and seriously-hurt numbers are the ones that hold.

Every pairing in the city is ranked at /crashes/intersections; the map and the whole-record charts are at /crashes. This page as markdown: /crashes/buchanans-road-and-sh-1s.md.
