Summary of Morocco's Road Safety Profile

Morocco has a population of approximately 31.95 million people and is classified as a middle-income country with a Gross National Income (GNI) per capita of US$2850. Road safety is managed under an institutional framework led by the Interministerial Committee of Road Safety, which includes various policies and regulations. Key road safety measures include a demerit points system, national speed limits at 60km/h for urban roads, and a national road safety strategy that is partially funded. However, fatality reduction targets are not set, and enforcement data suggests variability in implementation.

Alcohol-related driving is regulated with a Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) limit of 0.02g/dl for all drivers, and random breath testing is in place. For road mobility, there is a mandatory seat-belt law with an estimated wearing rate of 51% for drivers and 52% for front seats, while a national motorcycle helmet law has a usage rate of 79% for riders and 24% for passengers. Mobile phone use while driving is prohibited for hand-held devices, including hands-free use under certain laws.

Vehicle regulations enforce front and rear seat-belts for new and imported cars and align with UN standards, but there is no national child restraint law. Post-crash care includes an emergency phone number 115, and at least 75% of seriously injured are transported by ambulance. In 2010, there were 3778 reported road traffic fatalities, contributing to an estimated 2% loss of GDP, with a higher fatality rate among pedestrians and other vulnerable road users, as indicated by statistical trends.

Key data highlights include low investment in road safety funding and inconsistent enforcement, with potential areas for improvement in policies promoting walking, cycling, and public transport.
