Approximately 1.25 million people die each year globally as a result of road accidents. Based on the United Nations report, the number of road traffic deaths have reached to more than 3,500 per day worldwide, and it is likely that if no more practical and comprehensive measures are taken, the number of deaths and causalities will continue to increase. Given that Saudi Arabia has one of the highest rates of road deaths in the world, the government of Saudi Arabia is actively working towards reducing the number of road traffic deaths and casualties by 50% under the National Transformation Program (NTP) 2020. Moreover, the Kingdom is adopting additional measures to ensure traffic safety under Vision 2030 in which relevant entities such as the Ministry of the Interior, the Ministry of Transport. The Ministry of Education and the municipalities have set strategic objectives to reduce overall transportation accidents and ensure the safety of citizens.
