Honduras, with a population of approximately 10.28 million, is classified as a lower middle-income country in the WHO Region of the Americas. Road safety participation history includes reports from 2009, 2013, 2015, 2018, and 2023.

Key risks include high traffic fatalities, with WHO 2021 estimates of 1904 deaths (95% CI 1746-2063), equating to 18.5 deaths per 100,000 population. The burden analysis shows a male-dominated fatal accident profile (86%), and urban speed limits are legally set, but enforcement relies on manual methods only.

Strengths in safety infrastructure include the presence of national strategies, but there are gaps, such as no targets to reduce specific risks or systematic assessments for new roads. Vehicle safety assessments are limited, but there is legislation for BAC limits (≤0.07 g/dl for all drivers), helmet laws for motorcycles, and no restrictions on distracted driving or drug driving. Post-crash response has seat-belt laws, but lacks comprehensive emergency care and rehabilitation access.

Institutional efforts include a designated national lead agency and full funding for strategy implementation, but adherence to UN road safety conventions is only moderate, with one out of seven goals achieved. Modest initiatives exist for reducing speeding and alcohol-related issues, but overall, risks remain high regardless of measured trends.

Honduras demonstrates some legislative advances but needs strengthened measures in areas like helmet usage, infrastructure safety standards, and universal access to emergency services.
