The International Road Traffic and Accident Database (IRTAD) has released their 2015 annual report on Road Safety.
IRTAD is a permanent working group of the International Transport Forum at the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). It is composed of road safety experts and statisticians from renowned safety research institutes, national road and transport administrations, international organizations, universities, automobile associations, the automobile industry, and others from OECD and non-OECD countries.
The report provides an overview on road safety performance for 2013 in 38 member countries, with preliminary data for 2014, and detailed reports for each country. It provides detailed safety data by road user, location and age together with information on recent trends in speeding, drink-driving and other aspects of road user behavior. This is an essential tool for policymakers wishing to gain an understanding of the successes and challenges facing road safety policy from an international perspective.
