"For several years now, more Australians have been dying on the road.

This trend is moving Australia further away from its Vision Zero ambition – a
national commitment to eliminate all road deaths and serious injuries by 2050.

But what is driving the increase? And is the trend evenly distributed across
different road users?

The answer to the first question is complex. The short answer to the second is
no."
