## Resource

Road deaths have dropped globally by 30% since 1990, but progress is uneven—poorer nations lag behind, with some even seeing rising fatalities. Over 1.1 million people still die annually in crashes, making it the top cause of death for youth aged 5–29. In low-income countries, rapid urbanization and vehicle growth outpace safety infrastructure like seat belts and crash protections. Even in the U.S., where overall deaths fell, issues like distracted driving and larger vehicles persist, though pedestrian deaths dropped. As the UN gathers for a high-level road safety meeting, urgent global action is needed to close the gap and save lives.
