Road safety is a sustainable development challenge for the whole world. The global road traffic deaths and rates of road traffic death remain unacceptably high as an estimated 1.35 million road traffic deaths occurred in 2016 which was about 3,700 road traffic deaths a day.1 Globally, road crashes are the 8th leading cause of death for people of all ages and number one cause of death for children and young adults 5-29 years of age. However, the rates of road traffic death remained constant since the beginning of the millennium, which was about 18 road traffic deaths per 100,000 population.
