Poorer population groups bear a disproportionate burden of these health losses which are generally influenced by socio-economic factors and other social and environmental determinants, and increasing emphasis is being placed on global health promotion and equity as a core, crosscutting development strategy. Country development aims to promote higher living standards for all, with an emphasis on improved health, education and people's ability to participate in the economy and society. Improving road safety in LMICs contributes to the achievement of these development goals by addressing the vulnerability of citizens to catastrophic death and injury arising from road crashes and requires large-scale investments in infrastructure, institutions, vehicle fleets and the health and wellbeing of individuals. World Bank road safety projects have usually been components of larger road infrastructure and urban transport investment operations, and implemented as fragmented, single-sector initiatives. However, it became evident that a focus on measurable results and longer-term sustainability was critical to success. Hence the World Bank is now promoting safe system road safety projects that aim to simultaneously strengthen institutional capacity and accountability while seeking rapid improvements in safety performance for all road users. Country guidelines have been prepared to support this new approach. This report summarizes such guidelines for country road safety engagement.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCIDENT RESEARCHAFFORDABLE TRANSPORTAIRCARBON TRANSPORTCHAMBERSCOMMUNITIESCOVERSCRASH DATACRASH FATALITIESCRASH FATALITYCRASH FATALITY RATECRASH INJURIESCRASH PREVENTIONCRASHESCRASHWORTHINESSCYCLINGCYCLISTSDEVELOPMENT STATUSDRIVER DISTRACTIONDRIVER LICENSESDRIVINGDRUNK DRIVINGECONOMIC PROGRESSEMERGENCY RESPONSEEMERGENCY SERVICESFINANCIAL INCENTIVESFRAMEWORKGENDERGREENHOUSE GASGREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONSHEALTH PROMOTIONHEATHELMETSHIGHWAYHOSPITALSIMPLEMENTATION OF ROAD SAFETYIMPROVEMENT OF ROAD SAFETYINCIDENT RESPONSEINCOMEINJURYINJURY CONTROLINJURY DATAINJURY PREVENTIONINJURY REDUCTIONSINJURY SURVEILLANCEINSURANCE COMPANIESINTERNATIONAL ROAD TRAFFICINTERNATIONAL ROAD TRAFFIC ACCIDENT DATABASEINTERNATIONAL TRANSPORTINTERVENTIONSJUNCTIONSLOCAL AIR POLLUTIONLOCAL AIR QUALITYMASSMOBILITYMUNICIPAL ROADMUNICIPAL TRAFFICNATIONAL HIGHWAYSNATIONAL ROAD SAFETYNATIONAL ROAD SAFETY STRATEGYNATIONAL ROADSNATIONAL TRAFFICPEDESTRIANSPOLICEPOPULATION GROUPSPOST CRASHPROMOTION OF ROAD SAFETYPROVINCIAL ROADSPUBLIC TRANSPORTPUBLIC TRANSPORT SYSTEMSQUALITY CONTROLRADIOREGIONAL DEVELOPMENTROADROAD ACCIDENTROAD CRASHROAD CRASHESROAD DEATHSROAD INFRASTRUCTUREROAD NETWORKROAD NETWORKSROAD SAFETYROAD SAFETY ACTIONROAD SAFETY ACTIVITIESROAD SAFETY AGENCYROAD SAFETY AUDITROAD SAFETY AWARENESSROAD SAFETY EDUCATIONROAD SAFETY EFFORTROAD SAFETY EFFORTSROAD SAFETY INITIATIVESROAD SAFETY MANAGEMENTROAD SAFETY POLICIESROAD SAFETY PROBLEMSROAD SAFETY PROGRAMSROAD SAFETY PROJECTSROAD SAFETY RESEARCHROAD SYSTEMROAD TRAFFICROAD TRAFFIC FATALITIESROAD TRAFFIC INJURIESROAD USERROAD USERSROADSROUNDABOUTSSAFER ROADSAFER ROADSSAFETY BELTSSAFETY DATASAFETY FEATURESSAFETY INITIATIVESSAFETY MEASURESSAFETY OUTCOMESSAFETY PERFORMANCESEAT BELTSETTING OUTSIGNSSPEEDSPEED CONTROLSPEED CONTROLSSPEED LIMITSPEED LIMITSSTRUCTURAL FORMSSTRUCTURESSUSTAINABLE SAFETYSUSTAINABLE TRANSPORTTOOLSTRAFFIC ACCIDENTTRAFFIC AGENTSTRAFFIC CONTROLTRAFFIC CRASHESTRAFFIC ENFORCEMENTTRAFFIC INJURIESTRAFFIC LEGISLATIONTRAFFIC POLICETRAFFIC RULESTRAFFIC SAFETYTRAFFIC SYSTEMTRAFFIC VIOLATIONSTRANSPARENCYTRANSPORTTRANSPORT INVESTMENTTRANSPORT RESEARCHTRANSPORT SECTORTRANSPORT SYSTEMSTRANSPORTATIONUNDERPINNINGURBAN AREASURBAN TRANSPORTVEHICLEVEHICLE FLEETVEHICLE FLEETSVEHICLE INSURANCEVEHICLE KILOMETERSVEHICLE SAFETYVEHICLE SPEEDSVEHICLESWALKINGYOUTHhttps://doi.org/10.1596/17627
