Observations from Global Status Report 2023

• Adheres to many UN Road Safety Conventions (Some unspecified).
• Demonstrates strong areas in legislation (speed limits, drink/drugged driving, distracted driving, helmets) and infrastructure (paved roads).
• Moderate areas include national strategy, enforcement types, and regulations for periodic inspection.
• Weak areas include lack of law/regulation for periodic vehicle inspection, child restraints, children in front seat, testing drivers in fatal crashes, and uncertain enforcement practices.
• Data on non-fatal crashes and travel patterns not collected.
• Estimated adherence adapted from UN indicators.
