Dated versions never change. ## Query The query API returns only the rows you ask for, as JSON, NDJSON or CSV, from the same typed rows as the files. It needs no key. Rows: https://publicdata.au/api/v1/datasets/qld-traffic-infringements-issued/rows. Counts and sums: https://publicdata.au/api/v1/datasets/qld-traffic-infringements-issued/aggregate. - Rows: https://publicdata.au/api/v1/datasets/qld-traffic-infringements-issued/rows?limit=5 - Aggregate: https://publicdata.au/api/v1/datasets/qld-traffic-infringements-issued/aggregate?group=offence_type&metric=sum.offences Each filter is `field=operator.value` in the query string, and every filter must match. A number or date field compares as a number or date, and a text field compares as text. Values are case-sensitive except with `ilike`. Prefix `not.` to negate a filter, as `not.eq.value`. Operators: `eq.value`, `neq.value`, `gt.value`, `gte.value`, `lt.value`, `lte.value`, `like.*text*`, `ilike.*text*`, `in.(a,b,c)`, `is.null`. - `select`: Fields to return, comma-separated. Every field when absent. - `order`: `field.asc` or `field.desc`, comma-separated. The publisher's row order when absent. - `limit`: Rows per page, 1 to 10,000. 100 when absent. - `offset`: Rows to skip. The `next` URL in each answer sets it for you. - `group`: On `aggregate`, fields to group by, comma-separated. - `metric`: On `aggregate`, `count`, `sum.field`, `avg.field`, `min.field` or `max.field`, comma-separated. `count` when absent. - `format`: `json`, `ndjson` or `csv`. JSON carries the provenance header, and the others carry it in response headers. Without a version the API answers from the newest loaded version, and that answer changes when the publisher releases again. Put `versions//` before `rows` or `aggregate` for an answer that never changes. `/api/v1/datasets//versions` lists the loaded versions. The API allows 60 requests in 10 seconds from one address. Above that it answers 429 for 10 seconds with a `Retry-After` header, a `RateLimit-Policy` header and a JSON body that gives the limit. Every API answer carries the same `RateLimit-Policy`. A client should wait the `Retry-After` seconds, or read the files, which have no limit.

Open https://publicdata.au/d/qld-traffic-infringements-issued/latest/data.csv. It redirects to the newest dated version, which is https://publicdata.au/d/qld-traffic-infringements-issued/v/2025-10-14/data.csv today. The same path serves Excel, JSON, Parquet, SQLite, DuckDB, NDJSON, Arrow. A dated URL never changes, so use it when the file must stay the same. ### Can I open Traffic infringements and charges issued by police district, Queensland in Excel? Yes. https://publicdata.au/d/qld-traffic-infringements-issued/v/2025-10-14/data.xlsx is a workbook with the 97,713 rows on a records sheet, the field list on a second sheet and the provenance on a third. The CSV also opens in Excel. https://publicdata.au/d/qld-traffic-infringements-issued/v/2025-10-14/data.csv.gz is the CSV at about a tenth of the size. ### What years does Traffic infringements and charges issued by police district, Queensland cover? The current version covers the years since 2013. Each release from Transport and Main Roads becomes a new dated version here, and earlier versions stay online. ### How often is Traffic infringements and charges issued by police district, Queensland updated? Transport and Main Roads releases it yearly. This site checks the portal every week and adds a dated version when the file changes. ### Can I use Traffic infringements and charges issued by police district, Queensland commercially? Yes. CC BY 4.0 allows commercial use, redistribution and derived works as long as the attribution is kept. The attribution string is in this page's side column and inside every file. ### Is this the official source for Traffic infringements and charges issued by police district, Queensland? No. The publisher is Department of Transport and Main Roads, and its page is https://www.data.qld.gov.au/dataset/traffic-infringements-issued. This site republishes the publisher's file without changing its content. The original sits beside every version as source.csv with its SHA-256, so the two can be compared. ### How do I get only the rows for one police region? Every version has one JSON file per value of police_region, 9 files in the current version, listed with row counts at https://publicdata.au/d/qld-traffic-infringements-issued/v/2025-10-14/by/police_region/index.json. For example https://publicdata.au/d/qld-traffic-infringements-issued/v/2025-10-14/by/police_region/north-coast.json holds the 17,775 rows where police_region is NORTH COAST. ### What is in each row? One financial year from 2013-14, one police region and district, and one offence code, with the number of infringement notices or charges issued for that offence. The Breach or Ticket column says which, with T for a ticket (infringement notice) and B for a breach (charge). ### Why are recent counts lower? The department allows a three month lag before it extracts the data, and it notes that some categories, such as drink driving, stay understated for longer because those matters take time to finalise. The figures can change as offences are finalised. ### What are the last rows? The publisher ends the file with three rows of notes about the extract. They are kept as published, so their text sits in the financial year column and the other columns are empty. ### Why does North Brisbane have so many offences? Almost every camera-detected offence in the file is recorded against the North Brisbane police district, and no other district has more than a few dozen. Toll offences are all recorded under the UNKNOWN region. Compare districts on offences that are not camera or toll offences. ## What this site did to the data Cells were typed, headers were renamed to snake_case and the encoding was made UTF-8. Rows were left alone. Nothing is derived. The publisher's file is beside every version as `source.csv`. ## Improve this dataset This page is built from [register/qld-traffic-infringements-issued.yaml](https://github.com/National-Digital/publicdata.au/blob/main/register/qld-traffic-infringements-issued.yaml) on GitHub, and a fix to it is welcome as a pull request. https://publicdata.au/contribute/ explains how.
