Worldwide, the number of people killed in road traffic accidents each year is estimated at almost 1.2 million, while the number injured could be as high as 50 million. Without increased efforts and new initiatives, the total number of road traffic injuries and fatalities worldwide is forecast to rise by 65 percent between 2000 and 2020, while in low and middle-income countries, road traffic fatalities are expected to increase by as much as 80 percent over the same period. In 2002, road traffic injuries were the ninth leading cause of years lost worldwide, equal to 2.6 percent of the global burden of disease. On current trends, by 2020, road traffic injuries are likely to be the third leading cause of years lost. Part one of this reports presents the achievements of the Chinese Government in the last five years and the challenges it faces. Part two reviews the World Bank's experience with road safety in China over the last 20 years and summarizes the legacy of its efforts and the lessons learned. Finally, part three discusses recommendations on the way ahead for World Bank's road safety initiatives in China.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCELERATORSACCIDENT ANALYSISACCIDENT COSTINGACCIDENT DATAACCIDENT DATABASEACCIDENT PREVENTIONACCIDENT REPORTINGAGGRESSIVE DRIVINGAREA TRAFFIC CONTROLARTERIAL ROADSAXLE LOADAXLE LOADSBICYCLE LANEBLIND PERSONSBLOOD ALCOHOLBRAKESBRIDGEBUSESCARCAR DRIVERSCAR MANUFACTURERSCAR USERSCARSCAUSES OF ACCIDENTSCHANGING LANESCHANNELIZATIONCOMMERCIAL TRANSPORTCONSTRUCTIONCONSTRUCTION SITESCOST OF TRANSPORTCROSSINGCURBSCYCLISTSDISABILITIESDRIVER BEHAVIORDRIVER EDUCATIONDRIVER TRAININGDRIVERSDRIVINGDRIVING BEHAVIORDRIVING FORCEDRIVING SCHOOLSEXPRESSWAYSFATALITY DATAFOOTBRIDGESFRAMEWORKGOVERNMENT AGENCIESGRADEHIGHWAYHIGHWAY CODEHIGHWAY DESIGNHIGHWAY PROJECTHIGHWAY PROJECTSHIGHWAY RESEARCHHIGHWAY SAFETYHIGHWAYSIMPROVING ROAD SAFETYINCOMEINFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTSINJURYINJURY PREVENTIONINJURY SURVEILLANCEINNER RINGINSPECTIONINTERCHANGESINTERSECTIONINTERSECTIONSINTERURBAN ROADINTERURBAN ROADSJUNCTIONSLANESMARKINGMEDICAL SERVICESMETROPOLITAN TRANSPORTMINISTRY OF TRANSPORTMOTORCYCLEMOTORCYCLESMOTORCYCLISTSMOTORISTSMUNICIPAL ROADNATIONAL ROAD SAFETYNATIONAL ROAD SAFETY STRATEGYNATIONAL ROAD TRAFFICNATIONAL TRAFFICOVERTAKINGPASSENGERPASSENGERSPAVEMENTSPEDESTRIANPEDESTRIAN FACILITIESPEDESTRIAN SAFETYPEDESTRIAN SIGNALSPEDESTRIANSPOLICE STATISTICSPUBLIC SECURITYRED LIGHTREDUCTION IN ACCIDENT RATESRESEARCH PROJECTSRIGHT OF WAYRING ROADROADROAD AGENCIESROAD CATEGORIESROAD CONSTRUCTIONROAD DESIGNROAD DESIGN STANDARDSROAD ENGINEERINGROAD ENVIRONMENTROAD INFRASTRUCTUREROAD MAINTENANCEROAD MARKINGROAD NETWORKROAD PROJECTSROAD SAFETYROAD SAFETY ACTIONROAD SAFETY ACTIVITIESROAD SAFETY AUDITROAD SAFETY AWARENESSROAD SAFETY EFFORTROAD SAFETY EXPERTSROAD SAFETY INITIATIVESROAD SAFETY MANAGEMENTROAD SAFETY POLICIESROAD SAFETY PROBLEMSROAD SAFETY PROGRAMSROAD SAFETY PROJECTSROAD SAFETY RESEARCHROAD SAFETY REVIEWROAD SAFETY STUDYROAD SPACEROAD TRAFFICROAD TRAFFIC ACCIDENTSROAD TRAFFIC FATALITIESROAD TRAFFIC FATALITYROAD TRAFFIC INJURIESROAD USERROAD USER EDUCATIONROAD VEHICLESROADSRURAL TRAFFICSAFETY AUDITSSAFETY COMPONENTSSAFETY COUNCILSAFETY CULTURESAFETY FOR PEDESTRIANSSAFETY IMPROVEMENTSAFETY INITIATIVESSAFETY ISSUESSAFETY KNOWLEDGESAFETY OUTCOMESSAFETY PROGRAMSAFETY PROJECTSAFETY REGULATIONSSAFETY STANDARDSSHARINGSIGNALIZATIONSIGNSSPACE FOR PEDESTRIANSSPEEDSPEED LIMITSPEED LIMITSSPEEDSTIRESTOLLSTRACTORSTRAFFIC ACCIDENTTRAFFIC CONTROLTRAFFIC DATATRAFFIC ENFORCEMENTTRAFFIC ENGINEERINGTRAFFIC FATALITY RATETRAFFIC INJURIESTRAFFIC MANAGEMENTTRAFFIC MANAGEMENT COORDINATIONTRAFFIC MANAGEMENT MEASURESTRAFFIC MANAGEMENT SYSTEMTRAFFIC MIXTRAFFIC POLICETRAFFIC RULESTRAFFIC SAFETYTRAFFIC SAFETY EFFORTSTRAFFIC SIGNALSTRAFFIC VOLUMETRAFFIC VOLUMESTRANSPORTTRANSPORT AGENCIESTRANSPORT COSTSTRANSPORT INDUSTRYTRANSPORT MODETRANSPORT OPERATIONSTRANSPORT PROJECTSTRANSPORT SECTORTRUCKTRUCK DRIVERSTRUCKSTRUST FUNDSTYPE OF TRANSPORTTYPES OF VEHICLESURBAN ACCIDENTSURBAN EXPRESSWAYSURBAN TRAFFICURBAN TRAFFIC MANAGEMENTURBAN TRANSPORTURBAN TRANSPORT PROJECTURBAN TRANSPORT PROJECTSVEHICLEVEHICLE DRIVERSVEHICLE FLEETVEHICLE OPERATINGVEHICLE OPERATING COSTSVEHICLESVULNERABLE ROAD USERSWorld Bank10.1596/7778
