To understand the critical factors that are likelyto influence road traffic fatality rates in large cities aroundthe world in the next few decades. Material and Methods.Road traffic fatality data for 56 cities around the world andfor cities with a population of greater than 100 000 in theUSA were collected and analysed to understand factors affectingdifferences in fatality rates. Results. There are widevariations in fatality rates across income levels and withinsimilar incomes levels. The risk varies by a factor of about 20between the best and the worst cities. Conclusions. Thesepatterns appear to indicate that it is not enough to have thesafest vehicle and road technology to ensure low road trafficfatality rates. City structure, modal share split, and exposureof motorists and pedestrians may have a significant role indetermining fatality rates, in addition to enforcement, vehiclecrashworthiness and road design 2008 artículo científico 0036-3634 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=10608916 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=106 Salud Pública de México application/pdf Instituto Nacional de Salud Pública Salud Pública de México (México) Num.1 Vol.50 |
