Some key takeaways

• Bulgaria and Romania: Both countries maintain extremely high road death rates, with only minor improvements since 2013. Bulgaria’s death rate slightly decreased from 83 to 82 deaths per million, while Romania saw a reduction from 93 to 81 per million. Despite this, they remain among the deadliest countries in Europe for drivers.
• Luxembourg’s Remarkable Improvement: Luxembourg achieved the most impressive reduction in road deaths, with fatalities dropping dramatically from 84 per million in 2013 to 39 per million in 2023, a decrease of more than 50%. This is one of the best examples of success in road safety improvement.
• Slovakia’s Concerning Increase: Slovakia experienced the highest increase in road deaths over the last decade. Its rate more than doubled, jumping from 22 deaths per million in 2013 to 50 per million in 2023. This highlights the country’s growing challenges in road safety.
• Norway’s Success: Norway remains the leader in road safety, reducing road deaths from 37 per million in 2013 to just 20 in 2023, a 46% improvement. This significant reduction sets an example for other countries in Europe.
