Outlook for global road safety

Аннотация

The World Health Organization estimates that 1.25 million people are killed in road accidents each year—almost 3,400 a day-and up to 50 million are injured. However, road traffic injuries are not equally common around the world; some countries suffer more than others, and the likelihood of being killed in a road accident depends on where the person lives. Almost 90% of all road accidents occur in low-and middle-income countries.
