African Continent Road Safety Profile

Based on the Africa Status Report on Road Safety 2025, this profile offers a snapshot of road safety performance across 51 African countries. It presents key data and trends across five pillars—management, infrastructure, vehicles, user behavior, and post-crash response—highlighting persistent challenges such as high fatality rates, gaps in legislation, and underreporting. Vulnerable road users account for the majority of deaths. While progress is being made, the findings underscore the need for stronger institutional leadership, sustainable financing, and improved data systems to reduce road traffic deaths and injuries across the continent.
