• Social cost measures the total cost of road crashes to the nation and includes loss of life and quality of life, lost productivity, and medical, legal, court and property-damage costs.

• Tamaki Drive had the highest crash-route ranking with 84 bike crashes and a social cost $15.6m.

• Gladstone Rd/St Stephens Ave, Parnell came in at second place with 9 bike crashes and a social cost $1.3m.
