Definition
Estimated road traffic deaths per 100,000 population (SDG indicator 3.6.1), from WHO's Global status report on road safety.
WHO estimates built from death registration or modelled where registration is incomplete, so they differ from police counts. WHO publishes 2021 only. WHO revises these series, past years included, when new national reports or estimates come in, so values can change between retrievals.
