Report: August 24, 2007
Hurricanes, wars, and diseases of various kinds notwithstanding, road traffic crashes are still near the top as a cause of human injuries and deaths - almost 1.2 million killed and millions injured.
Bad as they look, these figures are not the full picture. The true cost includes: the financial strain on families; lost productivity; and the burden on national economies.
The latter, says the U.N. report, can particularly be a threat to developing economies as they try to find their footing in a competitive economic world. Most of the deaths and injuries occur in the urban areas of developing countries.
The report notes that trends in a number of countries, particularly low and middle income ones, indicate that the problem will get worse unless there are world-wide efforts to change things.
With this goal in mind, the U.N. held its first ever Global Road Safety Week from April 23 - 29, 2007. Hundreds of national and regional events were held worldwide.
The World Bank’s Global Road Safety Facility was set up in 2006 to support
global, regional and country efforts to improve road safety
