Population and Basic Information: Israel has a population of approximately 8.9 million people, classified as a high-income country in the WHO European Region, with participation in the Global Status Report on Road Safety (GSRRS) in 2009, 2013, 2015, 2018, and 2023.

Road Safety Burden: In 2021, there were 364 reported road fatalities, with a rate of 4.2 deaths per 100,000 population. High-risk behavior among males accounted for 77% of fatalities. WHO estimates set a similar range.

Safe Road Infrastructure: Israel has maximum urban, rural, and motorway speed limits at 50 km/h, 80 km/h, and 110 km/h, respectively. Local authorities can modify speed limits, and there are national targets to reduce speeds (scheduled for 2024).

Safe Vehicles: There are robust legislative measures for vehicles, including laws on drink driving (BAC limits: ≤0.05 g/dl for general population and 0.01 g/dl for novice drivers), distracted driving (ban on handheld mobile phone use), electronic stability control, and mandatory periodic inspections. Vehicle registration data indicates high ownership (over 3.8 million four-wheel vehicles). Helmet laws are enforced for motorcycles, with high usage rates (92% driver and passenger), and child safety restraints are mandated with specific age standards.

Post-Crash Response: Mandatory laws for seat belts and child restraints are enforced on all road types, with testing for alcohol and driving impairment. However, no universal free access to emergency or psychological care is guaranteed; targets include increasing seat belt use.

Institutional Framework and Data Systems: Israel has a national road safety strategy, with targets to reduce mortalities and non-fatal injuries, including specific goals for 2027. Data systems are in place for monitoring crashes and enforcement, and there is national coordination for emergency services. Compliance with UN road safety conventions is strong, and the country adheres to EU regulations.
