East Timor Summary Report

East Timor has a population of approximately 1,124,355 and is classified as a middle-income country with a gross national income per capita of $2,730. The country has implemented various road safety policies, including a penalty/demerit point system, national speed limits (max 50 km/h on urban roads), and a partially funded national roadsafety strategy. A national drink-driving law is in place with a BAC limit of 0.05g/dl for all drivers, but no random breath testing or police checkpoints are conducted. Key policies also include mandatory seat-belt laws for all seats, a national motorcycle helmet law, and measures to separate road users to protect vulnerable road users, though policies promoting walking, cycling, or public transport are absent.

In terms of vehicles and infrastructure, East Timor enforces national laws against handheld and hands-free mobile phone use while driving, but vehicle standards are partially harmonized with UN guidelines, with a new car assessment programme available. Major data shows 76 road traffic fatalities in 2010 (up from 5.2 deaths per 100,000 population in 2009 to 6.8 in 2010), reflecting an increasing trend. Other incident data, such as permanently disabled due to crashes or GDP lost, is not available, but post-crash care systems and emergency access are partially established.
