Uruguay
In 2017, 470 persons lost their lives in traffic crashes in Uruguay.1 This represents a 5.4% increase on 2016. Nevertheless, since 2011, the number of road deaths had been on a downward trend. Approximately half of all fatalities are motorcyclists, partly explained by the constant expansion of the vehicle fleet, in particular motorised twowheelers which account for 53% of registered vehicles. In 2011, Uruguay adopted a new road safety strategy in line with the United Nations’ Decade of Action for Road Safety.
