  • It is with great pleasure that I present the 2017 edition of the Annual Report of the International Traffic Safety Data and Analysis Group (IRTAD) which contains the most recent road safety data and up-to-date information on road safety measures and strategies for 40 countries. This year’s report contains information from an additional country – Uruguay – raising to four the number of Latin American countries covered by this report. The expansion of the IRTAD Group is a positive step and the intention is to continue this growth, without compromising the quality of the data. This report therefore makes a distinction between “validated” data (available for 2015 data for 31 countries) and data and information that is “under review”.

  • The 2017 Annual Report on Road Safety has been prepared by the International Traffic Safety Data and Analysis Group (IRTAD) and is based on data included in the IRTAD Database.

  • Road crashes kill about 1.3 million people worldwide every year and severely injure an estimated 50 million. Out of ten lives lost in traffic, nine are lost in low- and middle- income countries. But the number of road deaths is on the rise again even in some countries with impressive road safety improvements. The increasing share of vulnerable road users such as seniors, pedestrian, cyclists and motorcyclists that become victims of road traffic raises particular concerns.

  • This chapter presents an overview of most recent road safety trends for 31 countries, based on the latest available data for 2015 and 2016. It covers general road safety performance across countries and specifically analyses road safety trends with regard to senior citizens. It also looks at current national road safety strategies and legislation on speed limits, drinking and driving, as well as the use of seat belts and helmets.
