Road deaths

Road traffic fatalities per 100,000 population. FARS counts deaths within 30 days of a crash, matching the WHO reporting convention for most countries. Country figures come from WHO's 2021 estimating round; earlier years in the trend are WHO's previous round, so a country can step between 2019 and 2021 from re-estimation as well as real change.
