Traffic Deaths

Annual road traffic fatalities per 100,000 inhabitants. This is the clearest objective measure of road safety — it captures the combined effect of road quality, driver behaviour, vehicle safety standards, emergency response times, and enforcement of traffic laws. Score is inverted: fewer deaths per capita = higher score. Countries with rates below 3 per 100,000 represent the global gold standard in road safety.
