Approximately 125,000 people die every year on the roads of OECD countries; one road crash victim dies every four minutes. To a large extent, these crashes and the resultant deaths and injuries could be prevented. Road crashes also represent a serious economic burden: their cost is estimated to represent up to 4% of GDP in some countries. Fatalities across OECD countries could be halved if all governments were fully committed to improving road safety by implementing and enforcing best practice measures. This report identifies and assesses "best practices" among road safety programs in OECD countries.--Publisher's description.
