Guide for Road Safety Opportunities and Challenges: Low and Middle-Income Country Profiles

The Guide for Road Safety Opportunities and Challenges: Low and Middle-Income Country Profiles, is the first data report to cover all 125 LMICs with comprehensive road safety country profiles. The profiles present information on each pillar of road safety—management, roads, speed, vehicles, road users, and post-crash care—, to help countries and development practitioners identify challenges and opportunities, and monitor progress. The guide gives a precise assessment on the magnitude and complexity of road safety challenges faced by LMICs and helps policy makers understand the road safety framework in context of their own country systems and performance.

This report responds to the critical need for collecting and documenting accurate road safety performance data. It assembles information from multiple important and high-quality sources to take stock of any given country’s past achievements on road safety, establishing a baseline for the next decade of action across many areas of policy and performance.
