Road Safety
To put road safety into a global context, an examination of statistics is inevitable. It is estimated that between 1.2-1.3 million people die each year on the world's roads and between 20 and 50 million sustain non-fatal injuries. More than 3,200 people — the equivalent of eight jumbo jets — die in road crashes every day.
According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), road death is estimated to be the leading cause of death among young people between the ages of 15 and 29.
The economic consequences of motor vehicle crashes have been estimated between 1% and 3% of the respective GNP of the world countries, reaching a total over $500 billion. Reducing road casualties and fatalities will reduce suffering, unlock growth and free resources for more productive use.

Road traffic injuries can be prevented. As highlighted in the World Report on Road Traffic Injury Prevention, fatal and long term crash injury is largely predictable, largely avoidable and a problem amenable to rational analysis and remedy.
Road Safety Matters can assist by carrying out this rational analysis and providing advice on efficient and effective remedial solutions to contribute towards reducing the number of casualties, both locally, nationally and on a global scale.
