Section 2: ROAD SAFETY IN OIC MEMBER COUNTRIES
6 Road Safety Performance of OIC Member Countries
This chapter presents the road safety performance of OIC member countries. The performance
is presented at an individual country level and as a comparison between countries, both at OIC
level and non-OIC level. This is a complex subject, as the performance on road safety in a country
depends on many factors, such as motor vehicle fleet size, types of vehicles and quality and
design of roads. Also, income level is relevant, as low income countries may face a rapid increase
of motorisation, whereas high income countries can invest in safe infrastructure (Kopits &
Cropper, 2005).
