About this ranking
People killed in road traffic accidents within 30 days of the accident, per million inhabitants (Eurostat, police records reported to the EU road accident database CARE). Eurostat publishes whole numbers.
The EU uses this rate to track its road safety targets. The WHO road traffic death rate is per 100,000 people and modelled, so the two differ.
Every value in the ranking comes from the same publisher and the same period, so the regions are compared on one definition. 7 regions with data in other periods have no value for 2018 and are left out rather than filled from another source. Equal values share a rank.
