INTERNATIONAL ISSUES
ON ROAD SAFETY
• Road Traffic Injuries is a Global Epidemic
• Every 6 seconds someone is killed or seriously injured on the world’s roads
• With 1.3 million road deaths each year this is a global epidemic comparable to Malaria
or Tuberculosis
• Nine in ten road deaths and injuries are in developing countries
• Pedestrians, cyclists and other vulnerable road users are the majority of those killed and
injured.
• Road crashes are the leading global cause of death for young people aged 10-24
• According to UNICEF and the WHO, 260,000 children die and another 10 million are
injured in road crashes every year.
