The Global Status Report on Road Safety 2015 is the third in its series and is the official monitoring tool of the Decade of Action for Road Safety 2011-2020.
According to the new report, approximately 1.25 million people die each year as a result of road traffic crashes. However, the number of road traffic deaths is stabilizing even though the number of motor vehicles worldwide has increased rapidly alongside the global population. In the last three years, 79 countries have seen a decrease in the absolute number of fatalities while 68 countries have seen an increase. The report also shows that road users around the world are unequally protected. The risk of dying in a road traffic crash still depends, in great part, on where people live and how they move around.
“We’re moving in the right direction,” said Dr. Margaret Chan, Director-General of WHO. “The report shows that road safety strategies are saving lives. But it also tells us that the pace of change is too slow.”
The Global Status Report on Road Safety 2015 comprises a narrative text combining evidence, facts, and best practices with conclusions drawn following the analysis of the data collected for 180 countries. In addition, it offers one-page profiles for each participating country alongside detailed statistical annexes. An interactive online data visualization of the report is also available.
