Safety On Roads What S The Vision

This report identifies and assesses "best practices" among road safety programmes in OECD countries.

Approximately 125,000 people die every year on the roads of OECD countries; one road crash victim dies every four minutes. To a large extent, these crashes and the resultant deaths and injuries could be prevented. Road crashes also represent a serious economic burden: their cost is estimated to represent up to 4% of GDP in some countries. Fatalities across OECD countries could be halved if all governments were fully committed to improving road safety by implementing and enforcing best practice measures.
