In the past 5 years, 15 people were killed on roads within the Howick Local Board. 162 received serious injuries (requiring medical or hospital care) and 947 received minor injures.
That's too high - in fact New Zealand has the 4th highest rate of road deaths of high-income countries. Accounting for population, NZ has nearly twice as many deaths as Australia and nearly four times the UK.
To help us better understand when and where these crashes are happening, Auckland Transport has created an interactive Local Board Crash Data Dashboard, with data sourced and authorised by NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi's crash analysis system (CAS).
There are some limitations on the data - not every crash is reported. Analysis by Auckland Transport showed more people are admitted to hospital overnight for injuries resulting from crashes than reported in CAS. And there is a delay in the data becoming available. But it's the best data we have and it's used across NZ.
And it's now available for everyone in a user friendly dashboard.
You can filter by year, local board, and type of injury. The data is presented using visual heat map, so you can see the areas where there are more crashes. If you zoom in, you can see the details on each incident.
