Road Death Rate in Every Country (2026)

In this video, we show the road traffic death rate in every country using an animated world map. Discover how road traffic deaths vary around the world, from countries with relatively low death rates to places where road traffic injuries cause significantly more deaths. The map highlights global differences in road safety across countries and regions. This video is based on publicly available global health data and comparable country-level estimates of road traffic deaths. The figures are presented as deaths per 100,000 people, allowing countries with different population sizes to be compared more fairly. The latest available estimates may refer to an earlier year rather than 2026, depending on the data source. Road traffic death rates can be affected by road infrastructure, vehicle use, traffic laws, emergency medical services, and many other factors. The figures represent national-level estimates and do not describe the risk on every road or for every individual. The goal of this video is to visualize global differences in road traffic mortality through a clear and engaging world map animation.
