This paper examines the data available from published reports to understand the shortcomings in our present understanding of the following road safety issues: the relationship between national income and traffic safety; relative risk of different categories of road users in different societies; and urban form and traffic safety. Promoting, rather than effectively enforcing a few well-known safety countermeasures like helmet and seat belt use; weak efforts at controlling speeds and drinking and driving; and crashworthiness standards for cars may not be enough to substantially lower road traffic fatality rates internationally. Patterns of motorised two-wheeler and paratransit vehicle crash rates seem to be different in low and middle-income countries. Much more detailed research needs to be done in low and middle-income countries by establishing research centres to address local issues in these countries.
