Countries need a wake-up call to achieve the UN's road safety goals. This applies to middle and low-income countries, but also to a country like the Netherlands. SWOV director Peter van der Knaap stated this in an interview with the UN Road Safety Fund.
In 2019, the number of road deaths in the Netherlands amounted to 661, 17 fewer than in 2018. Yet, over the past ten years the trend has not declined. Taking into account the number of road deaths expected in 2020, it is certain that the national road safety target (a maximum of 500 road deaths in 2020) will not be achieved.
