Most Road Traffic Fatalities

Understand most road traffic fatalities: what the measure counts, how to read it and where to check the source.

Road deaths can be compared as a total, per resident or relative to travel. Those measures do not identify the same places. Population-based rates help compare countries of different sizes but do not show how much people drive or walk. Reporting systems can miss deaths, which is why international estimates may differ from police-recorded figures.
