Niue Road Safety Report Summary

Niue has a population of 1465 and is classified as a middle-income country. Road safety policies include a national speed limit of 40 km/h on urban roads, enforced by local authorities who can set lower limits. There is a national drink-driving law with a BAC limit of 0.08g/dl for all drivers, including young and professional drivers, and random breath testing and police checkpoints are implemented for enforcement. A national motorcycle helmet law requires helmet use, but there is no seat-belt law or child restraint law at the national level. Enforcement mechanisms are active but funding is not guaranteed.

The country sees a high percentage of road traffic deaths involving alcohol, with 100% of 2010 fatalities linked to alcohol consumption. In that year, there was 1 reported road fatality (all male), and emergency access is available via telephone number 87. No national laws regulate mobile phones while driving, and post-crash care includes varying ambulance transportation rates. However, GDP loss due to road crashes is estimated at 0.

Niue lacks formal audits for new road construction and specific policies for promoting walking, cycling, or public transport. The 2010 data shows 14 drivers involved in deaths for 4-wheeled light vehicles, but incomplete statistics for other categories are not available. Overall, enforcement and specific laws target alcohol-related incidents and riders, but broader safety policies like seat-belts are absent.
