Road crashes and consequent casualties seem to have made an enduring place in Bangladesh. Although the official statistics exclaim around 2500 road deaths and 3000 injuries annually, the true magnitude is yet to be confirmed. In contrast to this official crash record, few studies have projected extremely high fatality estimates creating a notion of mayhem among researchers, practitioners, and policymakers. Furthermore, incomplete latest data act as another hindrance for clarification option. A comprehensive study is, therefore, utmost needed to grasp the pragmatic scale of the safety challenges for the country and make the way forward to take effective forestalling strategies. This study is quite the first of its kind, at least for Bangladesh, where reported crash data from police, print media, and national and international organizations are accumulated to understand the potential magnitudes and trends. Crash and casualty statistics, safety status on global platforms, long-term trends, crash characteristics, road users’ involvement, and spatial distributions are investigated. The findings of this study can be exploited for evaluating traffic safety challenges, selecting outcome-based effective countermeasures, and thus reducing crashes, injuries, as well as social and economic losses due to traffic crashes in Bangladesh.
