The Road Safety Annual Report 2023 provides an overview of road safety performance for the 43 countries participating in the International Transport Forum’s permanent working group on road safety, known as the IRTAD Group.

Transport is essential for global economic and social development, especially in the Asia-Pacific region. However, its rapid expansion in the region has posed challenges, due to continued urbanization and motorization which increase negative externalities such as congestion, pollution, greenhouse gas emissions and road accidents.

The annual number of road traffic deaths dropped by 5 per cent to 1.19 million per year, according to this latest Global Status Report on Road Safety by the World Health Organization, even as the numbers continue to rise in India.
