Safer City Streets: Global Benchmarking for Urban Road Safety

Wednesday, November 28, 2018 - 16:45

This document aims to support cities in setting road safety targets and to monitor progress in improving urban road safety. Pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists account for nearly 80% of urban traffic fatalities. Cities should thus intensify efforts to improve the safety of vulnerable road users. This document presents traffic safety indicators for different road user groups collected in 31 cities to facilitate the evaluation, monitoring and benchmarking of road safety outcomes. It places a particular attention on measuring the risk of fatality per unit distance travelled.  The full report is available at https://www.itf-oecd.org/safer-city-streets-global-benchmarking-urban-road-safety
