Southern Africa Road Safety Annual Summit 2010
September 6 - 9, 2010
Johannesburg , South Africa
The Make Roads Safe global campaign for road safety revealed some startling statistics at the Make Roads Safe Africa Conference last year:
- Africa has the highest road death rate per population in the world – 32.2 people per 100,000 population are killed in road crashes (Western Europe’s average is 11 per 100,000);
- Africa’s road deaths, currently over 200,000 a year, are predicted to rise by at least 80% by 2020;
- By 2015 road crashes will be the number one killer of children aged 5-14 in Africa, outstripping Malaria and HIV/AIDS;
- Economically active young people are most at risk of road injury – in Kenya at least 75% of injuries involve young family breadwinners;
- Road crashes are estimated to cost African countries between 1-3% of their Gross National Product (GNP).
