Road deaths have declined globally since 1990 except in poorer countries, study finds

The global trend shows a significant drop in road fatalities since 1990, particularly in developed nations and some upper-middle-income countries, but poorer countries lag behind in this progress. This study highlights a worrying disparity where road safety improvements aren't reaching those who need it most, raising concerns about infrastructure, policy enforcement, and resource allocation in low-income regions. This imbalance underscores the urgent need for targeted international aid and policy reforms to ensure road safety improvements are equitable worldwide.
