Resumen
Descripción
As in many countries of the Europe and
Central Asia Region (ECA), vehicle ownership in Russia has
grown faster in the last decade than the decline in the rate
of fatalities per vehicle. At the same time, road safety
policies and interventions have not kept pace with the boom
in motorization. In 2008, the motor vehicle fleet in the
country exceeded 41 million cars, up 24 percent from 2004,
and the number of drivers licensed increased by 40 percent
during this period. In 2008, Russia saw nearly 30,000 road
traffic deaths and about 271,000 non-fatal road traffic
injuries. While these figures represent a drop of 13 percent
from 2004, Russia's road traffic mortality rate is
still five times higher than what is seen in several
European Union (EU) countries, about twice more than in the
United States, higher than in other Eastern European
countries such as Poland and Hungary, and higher than the
average for Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) countries.
