Peru Road Safety Summary

• Population and Income: Peru has a population of approximately 29 million, categorized as middle-income with a gross national income per capita of US$4,900.
• Road Safety Institutions and Framework: Peru has a National Road Safety Council managing policies like a demerit point system, penalties, and speed limits (e.g., 60 km/h in urban areas). It funds its national road safety strategy partially and has set fatality reduction targets, including a 20% reduction goal. A national drink-driving law enforces BAC limits at 0.05 g/dl for general and novice drivers and 0.025 g/dl for professional drivers.
• Enforcement and Measures: Road safety enforcement includes random breath testing and police checkpoints; however, formal audits for new road construction are absent. There is a national seat-belt law with high enforcement rates, but helmet laws are subnational and not fully mandated; commercial vehicles have stricter speed limits. Some policies to promote walking, cycling, and public transport exist at subnational levels.
• Accident Data: In 2010, road traffic fatalities totaled 2,514, with 76% male and 24% female deaths. Estimated GDP loss due to crashes was 1.5%, and vulnerable road users like pedestrians and cyclists account for high fatality risks. Permanently disabled due to crashes: 4%.
• Missing Elements: Data on helmet wearing rates and some enforcement scores are not specified. Not all vehicle standards or post-crash care are comprehensive, and no national child restraint law exists.
