Burundi Road Safety Summary

Burundi is a low-income country with a population of approximately 8.38 million people and a gross national income per capita of $230 USD. The institutional framework for road safety is led by the Ministry of Transport, Public Labor, and Equipment. The country has some road safety measures in place, including funding from the national budget and national speed limits. However, there is no national road safety strategy or law against drink-driving. Random breath testing and fine enforcement are not utilized, but local authorities can set lower speed limits. The national emergency access telephone number is 117. Road traffic fatality data from 2010 indicates 275 deaths, with no mention of permanent disabilities or significant GDP losses due to crashes. The vital registration system is in place, and emergency medical training for doctors and nurses is not specified as available.

Key assessments:

• Road user safety: Measures such as motorcycle helmet laws, seat-belt laws, and vehicle standards are not enforced nationally.
• Strategic implementation: No formal audits for new road construction or post-crash care systems are mentioned.
• Data trends: Charts from 2001 to 2010 show fluctuations in road traffic deaths, with some years lacking available data, estimated through police records as at-scene deaths.
