Executive summary Over 1.2 million people die each year on the world s roads, and between 2 and 5 million suffer non-fatal injuries. In most regions of the world this epidemic of road traffic injuries is still increasing. In the past five years most countries have endorsed the recommendations of the World report on road traffic injury prevention which give guidance on how countries can implement a comprehensive approach to improving road safety and reducing the death toll on their roads. To date, however, there has been no global assessment of road safety that indicates the extent to which this approach is being implemented. This Global status report on road safety is the first broad assessment of the status of road safety in 178 countries, using data drawn from a standardized survey conducted in 28. The results provide a benchmark that countries can use to assess their road safety position relative to other countries, while internationally the data presented can collectively be considered as a global baseline against which progress over time can be measured. The Global status report presents a number of key findings: countries have higher road traffic fatality rates (21.5 and 19.5 per 1 population, respectively) than high-income countries (1.3 per 1 ). Over 9% of the world s fatalities on the roads occur in low-income and middle-income countries, which have only 48% of the world s registered vehicles.

While steps are being rising trend in road traffic deaths is to be halted or reversed. methods has been used by different organizations to estimate the number of estimates that 1.27 million people died as a result of a road traffic collision in that year.

When 178 countries included in the study is traffic deaths are among men and that the highest impact is in the economically active age ranges. Figure 3.

For instance, high-income countries in the Eastern Mediterranean Region have a modelled road traffic injury fatality rate of 28.5 per 1 population, which is well above the global average for countries in this broad income group, as shown in Table 3. Similarly, while a number of high-income countries have managed to reduce their road traffic fatality rates in recent decades, in other high-income countries the downward trends in road traffic fatalities that began in the 197s and 198s have started to flatten, suggesting that extra steps are needed to reduce these rates further (see Figure 4). The 1 countries with the lowest modelled road traffic fatality rates are almost all high-income countries, where rates vary between 3.4 and 5.4 deaths per 1 population.

In doing so, they should consider the types of vehicles using the road, the nature and purpose of the road, roadside activities, provision of facilities for vulnerable road users, and the frequency of use by pedestrians and cyclists. Increased priority should be given to vulnerable road users, notably in urban areas, where speed limits should not exceed 5 km/h. 4 Local authorities need to be given the authority, resources and political support to implement measures to reduce speed limits to levels that may be lower than national limits where vulnerable road users are particularly at risk. 4 Programmes put into place to address speeding need to foster a public awareness and understanding of the effects of speeding and the reasons for enforcing speed limits.

A comprehensive assessment of the magnitude of road traffic injuries should consider not only mortality but also of interventions. provide essential information to governments in targeting their interventions and in evaluating the effectiveness of their current national road safety programmes. These include the proportion of road traffic deaths that plus data on monitoring and evaluation indicators such as rates of helmet Data on fatalities a standardized definition of a road traffic range of definitions for a road traffic death. These definitions use different time and include or exclude different types of road users. The same definitions are also country. The current recommended definition of a road traffic fatality for harmonization of surveillance purposes is any person killed immediately or dying within 3 days as a result of a road traffic injury accident increase in surveillance efforts. indicate that this goal remains largely unattained.

The most recent (1th) revision of the ICD codes came into use in 1994 but some countries still use previous versions.

This supports previous estimates million. WHAT CAN BE DONE 4 The data collected by the health sector need to be improved. This is particularly true with regard to data on non-fatal injuries. This can take the form of discharge data using ICD coding, injury surveillance systems or, where this is not feasible, intermittent surveys or casualty registers which collect only minimum data. 4 There is a need for standard definitions of levels of severity of non-fatal injuries to allow them to be accurately recorded and collated. The definitions should be simple enough to be administered by both health and non-health personnel. 4 Countries should be encouraged to link all data sources on road traffic injuries in order to help address underreporting.

WHAT CAN BE DONE 4 Countries should be encouraged to conduct national studies on the costs of road traffic crashes as well as on the cost-effectiveness of interventions they put into place. 4 Where possible, costing should include both direct and indirect costs.

These include: rates of helmet use; rates of seat-belt use; the proportion of drivers with blood alcohol concentration over the legal limit; rates of child restraint use. 4 While high-income countries often use sophisticated survey methodology, basic helmet and seat-belt wearing surveys are relatively simple and cheap to conduct. Surveys are essential for comprehensive monitoring to take place. 4 These data are pivotal to making policy decisions based on evidence, and to evaluating measures that are put in place. 4 The health sector should play an important role in research related to risk factors.

This involves institutions that have been nominated on road safety have the necessary human and financial resources to act effectively. The evidence suggests that the development and endorsement for implementation are important road safety goals. The results of this survey can be used as a tool to inform policy decisions in alongside implementation and evaluation of the good practice manuals developed Collaboration. The results can also be used to leverage political support and resources for safer road transportation for Decade of Action

The results of this Global status report and the gaps it has identified should during the Ministerial Conference on activities envisaged in the context of the Decade of Action. An increasing body of research level commitment has been evidenced by various international resolutions and community must continue to recognize road traffic injuries as an important health and development issue and intensify support for their prevention.
