Abstract
Every day about 3000 people die and 30 000 are seriously injured on the world’s roads. Most casualties are in countries that the World Bank classes as low and middle income countries, and a large proportion are vulnerable road users: pedestrians, cyclists, and riders of motorcycles and scooters. The World Bank believes that a partnership between business, nongovernmental organisations, and governments in these countries can deliver improvements in road safety. (Author/publisher)
