What This Road Figure Means

This game compares mortality caused by road traffic injury per 100,000 people.

  • It is a death-rate figure, so it scales for population rather than counting raw deaths.
  • Road safety is about vehicles, enforcement, infrastructure, trauma care, and how streets are designed.
  • Fast economic growth can raise motorization faster than safety systems keep up.

A road system can be modern, busy, and still lethally unplanned.
