"By the time you have read this page, at least five people will have died in
road traffic crashes.
Road crashes are the leading killer of children and youth, and they typically
strike during our most productive years, causing huge health, social and
economic harm throughout society.
Yet this report offers hope, and points to a way forward.
Since 2010, deaths from road crashes have fallen slightly to 1.19 million per
year. More than half of all UN Member States, including some of the worst-
affected countries, report a decline in deaths.
These hard-won gains were made while much of the world was heading in the wrong
direction.
As motor vehicles proliferate, countries are doubling down on transport systems
built for cars, not people, and not with safety at their core.
This holds back efforts to save lives, protect the vulnerable and secure a
sustainable future.
Some of the greatest progress has been made where the safe system approach to
road safety has been applied. This holistic approach to mobility puts people
and safety front and centre."
