Road traffic injuries remain a major public health problem globally, with over 1.2 million deaths and tens of millions of injuries each year. While many countries have made progress in reducing road traffic deaths, the problem is worsening in low- and middle-income countries which now experience over 85% of global road traffic deaths. Improving road safety requires action at global and national levels to establish effective policies and programs focused on safer infrastructure, vehicles and behaviors.
