The Commission has published preliminary data on the number of road deaths in 2022. Some 20,600 people died in road accidents last year, increasing by 3% from 2021 due to the lowest traffic levels since the pandemic. However, this is 2 000 fewer fatalities (-10%) than in 2019, the year before the pandemic. The EU and the UN aim to halve the number of deaths by 2030.<\/p>\n

Different divergences across Member States<\/strong><\/p>\n

At EU level, the number of road deaths in 2022 was 3% higher than in the previous year, mainly due to the recovery of traffic levels after the pandemic. In particular, many of the gains made during Covid-19, including a 17% drop between 2019 and 2020, have not been lost. The number of deaths in 2022 is 10% less than in 2019.<\/p>\n

However, progress has been very uneven across Member States. The biggest drop was in Lithuania and Poland by more than 30%, in Denmark by 23%. In contrast, in countries such as Ireland, Spain, France, Italy, the Netherlands and Sweden, the number of road fatalities has remained fairly stable or even increased over the last three years.<\/p>\n

The overall ranking of countries’ fatality rates has not changed significantly since before the pandemic: the safest roads are those of Sweden (21 fatalities per 1 million inhabitants) and Denmark (26 fatalities per 1 million inhabitants), while Romania (86 fatalities per 1 million inhabitants) and Bulgaria (78 fatalities per 1 million inhabitants) reported the highest rates in 2022. The EU average was 46 road fatalities per million inhabitants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most affected groups<\/strong><\/p>\n

Based on available data for 2021 (detailed 2022 data is not yet available<\/em>) across the EU, 52% of road traffic fatalities occurred on rural roads, versus 39% in urban areas and 9% on motorways. Men accounted for three out of four road deaths (78%). Car occupants (drivers and passengers) accounted for 45% of all road deaths while pedestrians represented 18%, users of powered two-wheelers (motorbikes and mopeds) 19% and cyclists 9% of total fatalities.<\/p>\n

Within\u00a0urban areas<\/strong>, the pattern is however very different with\u00a0vulnerable road users<\/strong>\u00a0(pedestrians, cyclists and users of powered two-wheelers) representing\u00a0just under 70% of total fatalities<\/strong>. Urban road user fatalities occur overwhelmingly in crashes involving cars and trucks and thus highlight the need to improve the protection of vulnerable road users.<\/p>\n

While the increased share of cycling in the mobility mix in many Member States is extremely welcome, a serious cause for concern is the trend in the number of cyclists killed on EU roads.\u00a0 This is the only road user group not to see a significant drop in fatalities over the last decade, which is notably due to a persistent lack of well-equipped infrastructure. In 2022, for example, preliminary figures from France show a 30% increase in cycling fatalities compared with 2019.<\/p>\n

Background<\/strong><\/p>\n

In 2018, the EU has set itself a 50% reduction target for road deaths \u2013 and, for the first time, also serious injuries \u2013 by 2030. This was set out in the Commission’s\u00a0Strategic Action Plan on Road Safety<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0EU road safety policy framework 2021-2030<\/a>\u00a0which also lay out road safety plans aiming to reach zero road deaths by 2050 (\u2018Vision Zero’).<\/p>\n

Road safety has also been a core element of recent EU mobility policy initiatives including the\u00a0Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy<\/a>, the Commission proposal for a\u00a0revision of the TEN-T regulation and the Urban Mobility Framework.<\/a><\/p>\n

The EU is at the forefront of the\u00a0Second Decade of Action for Road Safety, proclaimed by the UN for 2021\u20132030<\/a>\u00a0in August 2020.<\/p>\n

In the coming weeks, the Commission will present a package of proposals tackling road safety from a range of angles to make European roads safer still.<\/p>\n
