About the Decade of Action on Road Safety
Safety & Security , Travel & Tourism
Ends: Dec 31, 2020
DESCRIPTION:
The UN General Assembly has designated 2011-2020 as a Decade of Action on Road Safety Worldwide.
According to the Association for Safe International Road Travel, annual global road crash statistics include:
Nearly 1.3 million people die in road crashes each year, an average of 3,287 deaths a day.
An additional 20-50 million are injured or disabled.
More than half of all road traffic deaths occur among young adults ages 15-44.
Road traffic crashes rank as the 9th leading cause of death and account for 2.2% of all deaths globally.
Road crashes are the leading cause of death among young people ages 15-29 and the second leading cause of death worldwide among young people ages 5-14.
Each year, nearly 400,000 people under 25 die on the world's roads, on average over 1,000 a day.
Over 90% of all road fatalities occur in low and middle-income countries, which have less than half of the world's vehicles.
Road crashes cost USD $518 billion globally, costing individual countries from 1-2% of their annual GDP.
Road crashes cost low and middle-income countries USD $65 billion annually, exceeding the total amount received in developmental assistance.
Unless action is taken, road traffic injuries are predicted to become the fifth leading cause of death by 2030.
