List of countries by traffic-related death rate

This List of countries by traffic-related death rate shows the "annual" number of road fatalities "per capita" and per "vehicle-km" in the world's developed countries.

According to the World Health Organization road traffic crashes are the 6th most common cause of death in developed nations [cite web |title=Infectious diseases kill 1/3 worldwide; AIDS is top cause of death in developing region |url=http://ucatlas.ucsc.edu/cause.php |publisher=UC Atlas of Global Inequality] , while African nations have the world's highest road traffic injury mortality rates [cite web |title=World Health Report on Road traffic Injury Prevention |url=http://www.who.int/violence_injury_prevention/publications/road_traffic/world_report/en/ |publisher=World Health Organization] .

Note: Neither the number of road fatatities per capita, nor the number of road fatalites per vehicle-km are necessarily indicators of road-traffic safety.
